We study the effect of a metal cladding on the band structure of a two-dimensional photonic crystal slab. In this paper, we present some photonic band structures of square and triangular lattice-hole-patterned photonic ...

We present a novel method for reducing the radiative loss in photonic crystal waveguide (PCW) structures. By dressing a slab PCW with omni-directional mirrors, we demonstrate numerically that the coupling of propagation ...
