| Abstract | Abstract: In the last two decades photonic crystals (PC) have been studied in one, two and three di-mensions. Recently metallic two and three dimen-sional PCs were investigated with the focus on using such structures in incandescent lightning and thermal photovoltaic applications. These structures exhibit a metallic band gap below a certain threshold frequency as well as structural band gaps. The PC can be de-signed that the metallic band gap allows to block the infrared transmission respectively emission. We will show that also the simpler one dimensional system has the same features, namely a metallic band gap which is furthermore omni directional for all angles of inci-dence. For one dimensional PCs consisting of polari-tonic materials the dispersion exhibits also an addi-tional band gap next to structural band gaps. This po-laritonic band gap is also complete. In the last part of this article we show the dispersion relation of surface plasmons and polaritons by studying grazing incidence parallel to the layers. These surface states extend over adjacent layers. It is shown that propagating states must lie within the Wiener bounds. |
