We show theoretically that a one-dimensional photonic crystal containing a negative-index material has an omnidirectional gap, owing to the mechanism of zero (volume) averaged refractive index. In contrast to the Bragg gap, the edge of such a zero-(n) over bar gap is insensitive to incident angle and polarization. When an impurity is introduced, a defect mode appears inside the zero-(n) over bar gap with a very weak dependence on incident angle and invariant with scaling. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.
