    retina. When light enters the eye and hits the photoreceptors (rods and cones) located in the retina, the retinal ganglion cells are activated. The retinal ganglion cells are organized in the retina and then are sent to the optic nerve, which is located at the back of the eye. The optic nerve transports the signals from the retinal ganglion cells to the lateral geniculate nucleus (also abbreviated as the LGN). The thalamus is the structure that houses the lateral geniculate nucleus. The primary function

    abstract Photonic crystal is a composite dielectric with periodic modulation of refractive index that brings about unique photonic band-gap effect by which light could be totally reflected on the surface of such material regardless of any incident angle or mode. Such bandgap effect could be understood by investigating the optical performance of photonic crystals. In this paper, photonic bandgap calculations are performed for two dimensional photonic crystals using matlab. Plane wave expansion
