Photon band gap (PBG) structures have been investigated for accelerator and microwave tube applications over the past decade, and these investigations have concentrated on two distinct concepts. In one approach, a traditional accelerator slow-wave structure is created with a sequence of cavities of a new type that each contains a specially designed lattice of rods that endow it with desirable properties. Another more recent application of the same concept is to use a photonic crystal to confine the synchronous mode at the boundary of a dielectric wall accelerator (DWA), but let other modes excited by the beam escape. A related concept is the photonic crystal accelerator.
