Abstract
Full 2-D photonic bandgaps are demonstrated for all polarisations in s tructures with refractive index contrast as small as that of silica an d air. They occur for light propagating out of the transverse plane, w ith a longitudinal component of wave vector. A new type of optical fib re based on these structures is proposed.
