Abstract

The transverse-magnetic photonic-bandgap-guidance properties are investigated for a planar two-dimensional (2-D) Kagome waveguide configuration using a full-vectorial plane-wave-expansion method. Single-moded well-localized low-index guided modes are found. The localization of the optical modes is investigated with respect to the width of the 2D Kagome waveguide, and the number of modes existing for specific frequencies and waveguide widths is mapped out.
