Abstract
A two-dimensional photonic cystal with a rctangular lattice of elliptic air cylinders,which are filled with the EIT atomic vapor in the GaAs backgroud material,is designed.By manipulating the refractive index of the EIT vapor via the external control field,one can obtain the controllable bandgap structure that is sensitive to the variations of external conditions(e.g.the intensity of the control field).It is shown that tunable bandgap in the high region of normalized frequency could be achieved by choosing the specific parameters such as the spontaneous activity rate,dephasing rate,Rabi frequency of controllable light,atomic number density as well as elliptic geometric parameters.
