Abstract
A binary genetic algorithm with floating crossover and mutation probabilities is used to design two-dimensional photonic crystals for large absolute band gaps under a light line. The unit cell is composed of a small number of round rods and is arranged in a square lattice. The photonic band structure of each chromosome is calculated by the plane-wave expansion method. Starting from randomly generated photonic crystals, the genetic algorithm finally yielded a photonic crystal with an absolute common band gap of 0.0618(2πc/a) at the mid-frequency of 0.4084(2πc/a).
