Abstract :
RF models are frequently used for testing concepts that should finally work at optical frequencies. Since metals loose their conductivity at optical frequencies (OF), such models are of questionable value. In this paper we present simulations of 2D metallic photonic crystals (PhC) consisting of arrays of metallic wires at RF and at OF that show the limitations of RF models.
