Abstract

The eigen eld distribution and band-structure of a photonic crystal waveguide have been measured
with a phase-sensitive near- eld scanning optical microscope. Bloch modes, which consist of
more than one spatial frequency, are visualized in the waveguide. In the band-structure multiple
Brillouin zones due to zone folding are observed in which positive and negative dispersion is seen.
The negative slopes are shown to correspond to a negative phase velocity but positive group velocity.
The lateral mode pro le for modes separated by one reciprocal lattice vector is found to be
di erent.
