Modelling of left-handed metamaterial-basedphotonic nanostructures in functional optoelectronic devices have been studiedin present paper. Two dimensional photonic crystal array on a narrow-bandsemiconductor base filled with a liquid crystal was analyzed. Photonic band structureand isofrequency contours of the nanostructures containing both inorganic andorganic components were calculated for both TE and TM modes by using the planewave expansion method. Silver telluride was used as a narrow-band semiconductorand E7 type as a liquid crystal. The photonic crystal structure that isdesigned as hexagonal rods shape in an air background is planned for the squarelattice.
