AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">Periodic structures involving crossed arrays of cylinders appear as special
three-dimensional photonic crystals and cross-stacked gratings. Such a structure consists
of a number of layers where each layer is periodic in one spatial direction and
invariant in another direction. They are relatively simple to fabricate and have found
valuable applications. For analyzing scattering properties of such structures, general
computational electromagnetics methods can certainly be used, but special methods
that take advantage of the geometric features are often much more efficient. In this
paper, an efficient method based on operators mapping electromagnetic field components
between two spatial directions is developed to analyze structures with crossed
arrays of circular cylinders. The method is much simpler than an earlier method based
on similar ideas, and it does not require evaluating slowly converging lattice sums.</p>
