Phys. Rev. Lett. 65, 2646–2649 (1990)Full vector wave calculation of photonic band structures in face-centered-cubic dielectric mediaReceived 17 April 1990; published in the issue dated 19 November 1990 The photonic band structure of a face-centered-cubic lattice of spheres is calculated using the plane-wave method for Maxwell’s equations. Comparisons with the available experimental results show rather good agreement, except that we do not find a true gap for this configuration. This we believe is due to symmetry reasons at the W point. © 1990 The American Physical Society URL:
