Using a plane wave expansion method, we solved the Maxwell’s equations for the propagation of electromagnetic waves inside periodic dielectric materials, and found the existence of photonic band gaps in several classes of periodic dielectric structures.

In this paper, a new structure of two-dimensional (2D) square-lattice photonic crystal (SLPC) with button-shaped dielectric rods (BSDRs) is designed, and the properties of band gaps are analyzed by Plane Wave Expansion Method (PWM). The optimal samples that possess the width of absolute band gap are obtained by scanning the three parameters: the radius of large circular R in button mark, the ratio of the radius of small circular to the radius of large circular r/R, and the rotating angle of button mark Ө. It is shown that when r/R=0.485, R=0.406um, and Ө =750, the largest absolute band gap of 0.0406 (ωa/2πc) exists for normalized frequencies in the range 0.7501 to 0.7910 (ωa/2πc). Besides,we can get at most five absolute band gaps when r/R=0.485, R=0.406um, and Ө =600.

The effect of intensity threshold on the filling ratio was analyzed by calculating the intensity spatial distribution. The photonic band gap properties of two-dimensional triangular lattice fabricated by holographic lithography are investigated numerically. The influences of intensity threshold and dielectric contrast, on photonic gap are comprehensively studied by plane wave expansion method. Calculations of band structure as a function of the intensity threshold show that the PBG of positive structure opens for TM and TE polarization separate, and the negative structure has the complete PBG. The complete PBG does not increase monotonically with dielectric contrast ratio, but has a peak value instead by studying the relation between the complete PBG and the dielectric contrast ratio. The optimal dielectric contrast is 22 when intensity threshold is 0.2.
