SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the simulation of a Photonic Crystal (PhC) model, revealing that the transmission characteristics are angle-dependent. Specifically, as the angle of the incident beam increases, the bandwidth of the bandgap also increases. This phenomenon is attributed to the interaction of light with the periodic structure of the PhC, which alters the photonic band structure based on the angle of incidence.
