Photonic crystals (PCs) have many potential applications because of their ability to control light-wave propagation. We proposed a novel tunable field-sensitive polarizer based on conventional waveguides and PC structures with nematic liquid crystals. Its properties were investigated numerically by

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
