Abstract
We study the photonic ''acoustic band'' for both square arrays of diel ectric and infinite refractive index cylinders. We show that the effec tive refractive index defined by this band does not have a continuous limit as the cylinder refractive index approaches infinity, and we exp lain this physically.
