Abstract

In this paper, the fields in a 2D finite photonic crystal are calculated in a rigorous and efficient way using an integral equation technique. At the surface of every cylinder an appropriate boundary impedance is used. The validity and accuracy of the method are verified by comparing the numerical results for a small example with those obtained by the method of auxiliary sources. Finally, this method is used to study a more complex PBG structure, namely a wave demultiplexer.
