In this paper, we use the Bloch theorem and transfer matrix method to calculate the dispersion relation of a ternary 1D photonic crystal with left-handed materials. Then, we obtain the total omnidirectional re∞ection band gaps of this structure. We demonstrate that the omnidirectional re∞ected frequency bands are enlarged in comparison with ordinary materials with positive index of refraction.
