A systematic theoretical investigation is undertaken in order to identify a two-dimensional periodic dielectric structure that has a complete in-plane photonic band gap for both polarizations. Of the various structures studied, only a triangular lattice of air columns is found to have the desired band-gap properties. Microwave transmission experiments are performed to test the theoretical predictions.
