摘要

Exact analytic formulas for calculating the effective permittivity, permeability, and crossed magnetoelectric tensors for photonic crystals in the long-wavelength limit are presented. The formulas are valid for arbitrary Bravais lattice and form of inclusions, which can be dielectric, magnetic, or chiral. We have applied them to study the optical anisotropy of homogenized magnetodielectric three-dimensional photonic crystals, which can be induced by the type of: Bravais lattice or the form of the inclusion even in the case when the photonic crystal is composed of isotropic materials. It is established that the electromagnetic modes, propagating in such anisotropic magnetodielectric metamaterials, are extraordinary, unlike the modes in homogenized nonmagnetic dielectric composites, where at least one mode is ordinary.
