Description:
Author(s): Meng Xiao, Z. Q. Zhang, and C. T. Chan Surface impedance of a photonic material governs how an impinging light wave behaves at its surface, whereas its bulk “band structure” determines what wave modes can propagate in it. Is there a surface-to-bulk correspondence? A new study of one-dimensional photonic crystals indeed uncovers a rigorous fundamental relationship between the two. [Phys. Rev.
