We present a discrete model of resonant scattering of waves by an open periodic waveguide. The model elucidates a phenomenon common in electromagnetics, in which the interaction of plane waves with embedded guided modes of the waveguide causes sharp transmission anomalies and field amplification. The ambient space is modeled by a planar lattice and the waveguide by a linear periodic lattice coupled to the planar one along a line. We show the existence of standing and traveling guided modes and…

Resonance and Bound States in Photonic Crystal Slabs

This work analyzes EM resonance in slabs of two-phase dielectric photonic crystal materials using boundary-integral projections for time-harmonic electromagnetic (EM) fields, and presents numerical examples which demonstrate the effects of structural defects on the resonant properties of a crystal slab and surface waves supported by a die...

Resonant transmission near nonrobust periodic slab modes.

The perturbation of three coincident zeros-those of the dispersion relation for slab modes, the reflection constant, and the transmission constant-is central to calculating transmission anomalies both for lossless dielectric materials and for perfect metals.
