✦ Synopsis

We theoretically investigate optical coupling between a waveguide and a localized mode arising in a cavity resonator of a two-dimensional photonic crystal. By carrying out two-dimensional finite-difference time-domain calculations, we evaluate coupling efficiency by observing whispering gallery mode decaying through the waveguide. Calculated coupling efficiency shows periodical change with change of waveguide width. We found that the coupling becomes strong when group velocity of the relevant waveguide mode is small. This correlation between the coupling efficiency and waveguide mode indicates that we can widely tune the coupling efficient by small change of structural parameters.

## Abstract This paper reports on the use of 2D photonic crystals to design microwave waveguides. The waveguide consists of a periodic arrangement of holes, with a square or rectangular cross section, that extends along the waveguide with a central defect defined by the absence of a hole.

We present a detailed study of the dispersive medium's normal coupled modes in a symmetric one-dimensional photonic crystals (1D PCs). The splitting, homogeneous broadening effect, and the detuning effect of the normal coupled modes can be well controlled by adjusting the parameters of the dispersiv

In this paper, we show how the coupling of light into a photonic crystal waveguide can be greatly enhanced by creating a periodic modulation in the dielectric structure surrounding the entrance of the waveguide. In this way, surface modes supported by the system can funnel the light that impinges on
