Evidence of Bloch wave propagation within photonic crystal waveguides

• We report in this paper results obtained from characterizations of photonic band gap waveguide, using near field optical microscopy. We will show evidence of a Bloch wave propagating within our W1 photonic crystal waveguides (PCWs) structure, using a 2D Fourier transform approach. The processed image will then be compared to simulations obtained from plane wave method. This comparison exhibits that near-field measurements, using tapered optical fibers as probes, are mainly sensitive to the electric field propagating within the structure.
