Basing on finite-difference time-domain method and partial band gap effect of photonic crystal, we obtain collimated light beams from point optical source and two-dimensional photonic crystal structure. The diffusive light with some special frequencies can be collimated and propagate along a special direction within photonic crystal structure. Our study presents a new method to make light collimator.
