Abstract

Plasma photonic crystals are presented in this paper. A plasma photonic crystal can control the propagation of electromagnetic waves. Similar to other photonic crystals, the permittivity of a plasma photonic crystal is distributed as periodic arrays. The properties of periodic arrays of plasma can broaden the range of frequency and enhance the efficiency of beam-wave interaction. In special uses, the behavior of plasma shows that it has properties of photonic crystals.
