Abstract: This article focuses on Lyman break galaxy survey. During recent years, the Lyman-break technique allowed to starbursting galaxies. Even galaxies with extreme redshifts can efficiently be found by extending the method to infrared filters. The photometric selection criteria for U and B band dropouts were developed using the known colors of high redshift galaxies and the distribution of the model spectra in color-color space. Objects inside boxes in the color-color diagrams are chosen as candidates for U- and B-band dropouts.
