Abstract
Much interest has been drawn to photonic crystals, optical materials in which the refractive index changes periodically.1,2 A photonic band gap is formed in the crystals, and the propagation of electromagnetic waves is prohibited for all wave vectors. Various important scientific and engineering applications such as a control of spontaneous emission, a zero-threshold laser, a very sharp bending of light, and so on, are expected by utilizing the photonic band gap and the artificially introduced defect states and/or light-emitters.1–4
