Abstract: The photonic structure of a two-dimensional square lattice with square columns rotated by 45 degrees is theoretically studied. For a range of dielectric filling factors around f=0.5 (for which the lattice reduces to a chessboard) a photonic band gap common to s and p polarizations is found. The complete band gap occurs for a wide range of values of the dielectric contrast and is maximum fur relatively low values of the contrast.
