Abstract
Guided modes in slab-like structures consisting of dielectric material surrounded by 2D photonic band gap material drilled in the same dielectric are studied by the supercell method. Focusing on E-polarized modes (\( \vec{H} \) transverse to the rods), we outline (i) the existence of a guide with mid-gap mode much narrower than the classical quarter-wave layer of the 1D case, (ii) the role of the relative “phases” of the boundary corrugations for contradirectional coupling, and (iii) the symmetries of modes at k = 0 and how it appears in the succession of modes.
