We use the transfer-matrix method to research the band structures in one-dimensional photonic crystals composed of anomalous dispersion material (saturated atomic cesium vapor). Our calculations show that that type of photonic crystal possesses an ultra-narrow photonic band gap and this band gap is tunable when altering the electron population in the atomic ground state of the anomalous dispersion material by the optical pumping method.
