... Irreducible Brillouin Zone Photonic crystals might have symmetries other than discrete translations . A given crystal might also be left invariant after a rotation , a mirror reflection , or an inversion is ... Irreducible Brillouin Zone.
... Brillouin zone . The smallest region within the Brillouin zone for which the wn ( k ) are not related by symmetry is called the irreducible Brillouin zone . For example , a photonic crystal with the symmetry of a simple square lattice ...
