Phys. Rev. B 64, 075313 (2001) [8 pages]Emulation of two-dimensional photonic crystal defect modes in a photonic crystal with a three-dimensional photonic band gapReceived 30 January 2001; published 27 July 2001 Using numerical simulations, we demonstrate the construction of two-dimensional- (2D-) like defect modes in a recently proposed 3D photonic crystal structure. These modes, which are confined in all three dimensions by a complete photonic band gap, bear a striking similarity to those in 2D photonic crystals in terms of polarization, field profile, and projected band structures. It is expected that these results will greatly facilitate the observation of widely studied 2D photonic-crystal phenomena in a realistic, 3D physical system. © 2001 The American Physical Society URL:
