We consider the long-wavelength limit for a periodic arrangement of carbon nanotubes. Using the Fourier expansion method we develop an effective-medium theory for photonic crystal of aligned optically anisotropic cylinders. Exact analytical formulas for the effective dielectric constants for the E...
