  The single photon transport through a one dimensional array of cavities is
studied theoretically. Analytical expressions of the reflection and
transmission are given. The transmission shows an energy spectrum with
forbidden and allowed bands that depends on the detuning parameter of the
system. We show that the allowed miniband is formed due to the indirect
coupling between the atoms in each cavity. In addition, the band edges can be
controlled by the degree of detuning of the level of the atoms. We discuss the
analogy between this phenomenon with the Fano and Dicke effects.
