Abstract: Associated Lam'e potentials $V(x)=a(a+1)ms{n}^2(x,m)+b(b+1)mc{n}^2(x,m)/d{n}^2(x,m)$ are used to construct complex, PT-invariant, periodic potentials using the anti-isospectral transformation $$, where $$ is any nonzero real number. These PT-invariant potentials are defined by $$, and have a different real period from $V(x)$. They are analytically solvable potentials with a finite number of band gaps, when $a$ and $b$ are integers. Explicit expressions for the band edges of some of these potentials are given. For the special case of the complex potential $$, we also analytically obtain the dispersion relation. Additional new, solvable, complex, PT-invariant, periodic potentials are obtained by applying the techniques of supersymmetric quantum mechanics.
