AbstractWe demonstrate that nanochannel glass (NCG) materials are ideal for investigating twodimensional (2D) photonic band-structure effects. The NCG materials we have studied consist of triangular arrays of glass cylinders embedded in a glass matrix, having center-tocenter nearest-neighbor separations from 0.54 to 1.08 μm. The indices of refraction of the two glasses differ by less than 0.02 in the relevant spectral region. Narrow attenuation features occur whenever the dispersion relation for light propagating within such a periodic dielectric structure crosses a Brillouin zone boundary. The attenuations corresponding to the first Brillouin zone appear in the near-infrared (IR), at wavelengths between 1 and 3 μm, in good agreement with calculations.

The formation of photonic band structure by electromagnetic waves propagating in a periodic dielectric medium is discussed. The existence of a photonic gap at the Brillouin zone boundary is illustrated in the nearly-free-photon approximation. Numerical results obtained by solving the Maxwell's equations with the planewave method are presented for selected cases. For appropriate dielectric structures, a true photonic band-gap extending throughout the Brillouin zone can exist leading to the possibility of novel physical effects.
