Zusammenfassung:The EM polarizing structure, which contains a two dimensional planar variation structure, having medium nodes regularly distributed as a two dimensional planar photonic unit lattice cell array on a plane. Each of said unit photonic lattice cells has an operation axis and is identical at each lattice point, which passes a diagonal of said unit photonic lattice cell. The medium nodes within each said planar photonic unit lattice cell are distributed asymmetrical with respect to said operation axis direction and identical at each lattice point. The said EM polarizing structure is used to modulate an input EM wave around an operation frequency of the photonic band associated with said EM wave polarizing structure. Thus a corresponding output EM wave becomes polarized. Moreover, said electromagnetic (EM) wave polarizing structure can be integrated with an EM wave emitting source. Thus an output EM) wave from said device is polarized.
