Abstract
In this paper, we have presented a wave theory method to study 1D photonic crystals (PCs), and give the new transfer matrix, dispersion relation, and transmissivity. We have calculated the dispersion relation and transmissivity with the new wave theory and the transfer matrix method, and find the dispersion relation and transmissivity are identical for the two kinds of methods. The new wave method can be also used to study 2D and 3D PCs.
