ABSTRACT:
A photonic crystal device according to the present invention includes: a first dielectric substrate104having a first lattice structure, of which the dielectric constant changes periodically within a first plane; a second dielectric substrate105having a second lattice structure, of which the dielectric constant changes periodically within a second plane; and an adjustment device (pivot303) for changing a photonic band structure, defined by the first and second lattice structures, by varying relative arrangement of the first and second lattice structures. The first and second dielectric substrates104and105are stacked one upon the other.
