… -mode gap. Surprisingly, the quality factors of the surface-defect mode are the largest reported
for 3D photonic crystal … a new approach for photon manipulation by photonic crystals, our …

… Thus, if we choose different refractive index contrasts for the Eand H-polarization modes in
a given photonic crystal, we can match the relative position of band gaps for the two modes. …

… y-dipole mode frequency so as to maximize the Q, and the second is to push the x-dipole
mode frequency out of the band gap of the photonic crystal, resulting in a single-mode cavity. …

… We decided to make photonic crystals on the scale of … mode, which is Q - IOOO, as limited
by the loss tangent of the Emerson & Cumming Stycast material of which the photonic crystal …

… for the photonic bands of two kinds of photonic crystal slabs: … waveguide thickness for a gap
