    In this paper, dispersion relations (DRs) of photonic crystals (PhCs) are computed by multilayer perceptron (MLP) and extreme learning machine (ELM) artificial neural networks (ANNs). Bi- and tri-dimensional optimized structures presenting distinct DRs and photonic band gaps (PBGs) were selected for case studies. Optical properties of a set of PhCs with similar geometries and different dimensions were calculated by an electromagnetic solver in order to provide input data for ANN training and testing. We demonstrate that simple- and fast-training ANN models are capable of providing accurate DRs' curves in a very short time.
