Abstract: 

Fully vectorial plane wave method is presented aimed the calculation of the electromagnetic eigenwaves in periodical dielectric media having arbitrary geometry and dimension with both isotropic and anisotropic elements. Using this method the effect of the reorientation of molecules of anisotropic material in photonic crystal on the dispersion surface is investigated.
