Near-field analysis of surface electromagnetic waves in the bandgap region of a polymeric grating written on a one-dimensional photonic crystal

Tristan Sfez, Emiliano Descrovi, Lorenzo Dominici, Wataru Nakagawa, Francesco Michelotti et al.
The spatial distribution of surface electromagnetic waves on a one-dimensional photonic crystal with a polymeric grating on top is mapped using a multiheterodyne scanning near-field optical microscope. The grating opens a bandgap. At the band edges, a stationary field formed by two surface waves wit … [Appl. Phys. Lett. 93, 061108 (2008)] published Thu Aug 14, 2008.
