Hello everyone, I'm interested in doing bandstructure calculations for a photonic crystal of two different lattice structures. For instance, imagine (in 2D) a lattice of rods of radius R1 for all lattice sites with y>0, and radius R2 for all lattice sites with y<0. (With R1 != R2 of course.)
In my mind, this would require simulating a 1D lattice, where the unit cell is infinite in the y direction, periodic in x. This is quite similar to previous discussions on mpb-discuss about simulating bragg reflectors. The main difference with the bragg reflector case is that there is no internal "structure" in the y direction in the unit cell, aka it is uniform in y. Is a structure like this possible to create in MPB? Please let me know if my description is unclear at all. Thanks very much, Chris
