Abstract
Photonic band gap structures are a topic of very active research because of their novel physics and many potential applications. Theoretical studies of photonic crystals have revealed many interesting features: however, realisation of genuine applications has been hindered by the difficulties associated with modelling, fabricating and characterising devices. In this paper, we describe how scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) enables the complete characterisation of the electromagnetic fields in 2-dimensional photonic crystal waveguide structures.
