Abstract
Throughout the last two decades the studies on photonic crystal have made a tremendous developments
in many aspects of physics, specifically in the field of nanophotonics.
Moreover,many principles and
applications of photonic crystal are appearing to be valid in different area of studies. Photonic crystals
are microscopic dielectric materials by which light is to be trapped,confined or controlled as it tends to
propagates through them. In this project, we review the historical development of photonic crystals,
metalic photonic crystals and plasmoics, Maxwell equations and the inspirations of bandgap, the
propagation of light in different media such as one , two and three dimensional media of photonic band
gap materials(photonic crystals). Our study has fully, concentrated on the progresses, developments of
principles and technological applications of photonic band gap material. Finally, we have predicted
that electromagnetic waves( light modes) can be guided to a desired direction and in a desired manner
carrying ample information by the help of different devices that appropriately exploit the properties of
photonic crystals
