Abstract
We study the gap phenomenon in one-dimensional photonic crystals. Using a classical characterization of forbidden bands, we show that it is possible to define a semi-infinite crystal. Besides, we precise the behavior of the field in the semi-infinite structure for wavelengths belonging to a forbidden band. In the particular case of Bragg mirrors, we have found a universal curve allowing the location of the gaps.
