Abstract

The metal photonic band gap structure has potentialities in the areas of high-energy accelerators,microwave vacuum electron devices, and terahertz radiation sources etc. The real space transfer matrix method in a nonorthogonal coordinate system is used to study the two-dimensional metal photonic band gap structure consisting of a skew lattice. A general formula for calculating the complete band gap structure is derived for transverse-electric and transverse magnetic modes, and the influences of the filling fraction, skew angle and cross section of the metal rod on band gap are analyzed. The results are in good agreement with results of other methods in some special cases.
