heal.abstract	We present a systematic examination of the optical properties of photonic crystals consisting of metallic particles (plasma spheres) arranged periodically in a host dielectric medium. We calculate exactly the transmission and absorption coefficients of light incident on a slab of the material as functions of the frequency of the incident light and analyze the results by reference to the properties of a single sphere and to the frequency band structure of the corresponding infinite crystal. We examine the dependence of the above coefficients on the fractional volume occupied by the spheres and on the thickness of the slab. Finally we compare our results with those of the Maxwell Garnett effective-medium theory and in this way we establish the limitations of the latter. We show in particular that multipole interactions which the Maxwell Garnett theory does not take into account lead to significant structure in the transmission/absorption spectra. ©1999 The American Physical Society.	en
