Abstract :
The band structure of one-dimensional complex photonic crystals composed of anisotropic media is computed and analyzed using a 4 times 4 transfer matrix method. The overlapping of band structure has been investigated in detail. Numerical results indicate that through altering the relative orientation of the optical axes of the adjacent layers, it is possible to adjust and extend bandgap of the photonic band structure.
