Abstract
Photonic crystal waveguides were investigated using an envelope approximation formalism. The photonic crystal under study was a square lattice of vertical rods with radii of 0.2 lattice constant. The core and cladding were made of materials with similar photonic crystalline structures but different average refractive indices. The formalism yielded a direct picture of waveguiding mechanism, and allowed prediction of frequency of guided modes, dispersion relation of waveguides and shapes of modes.
