Abstract
The photonic band structure of a two-dimensional square lattice constr ucted of square chiral rods is calculated by means of the electromagne tic transfer matrix method. The result shows that absolute photonic ba nd gaps appear in the square lattice which is the square chiral rods e mbedded in the dielectric. The potential application of the lattice is discussed.
