title: Theoretical bandgap modeling of two-dimensional triangular photonic crystals formed by interference technique of three-noncoplanar beams.
abstract: Using the block-iterative frequency domain method and the nonorthogonal FDTD method, the photonic band gap (PBG) and spectral properties are investigated for a new class of two-dimensional (2-D) trigonal structures with an approximately circular or exagonal "atom" shape formed by holographic lithography. Calculations of band structures as a function of the intensity threshold show that the PBG of 2-D titania arrays opens only for TM polarization, and directional PBG can open for TE and TM polarization simultaneously. In addition, up to four sizeable full PBGs can open for an inverted GaAs triangular structure.
