• Photonic crystal
• Absolute photonic band gap
• Anisotropic tellurium

We analyze the band gap spectra of two-dimensional photonic crystals created by square, triangular and honeycomb lattices of air rings with different geometrical shapes and orientations in anisotropic tellurium background. Specifically, five different shapes of rings (circular, hexagonal, elliptical, rectangular and square) are considered. Using the numerical plane wave method, we discuss the maximization of the absolute photonic band gap width as a function of air ring parameters with different shapes and orientations in three types of lattices.
