Abstract
A periodic array of dielectric rods or holes, known as two-dimensional phot onic crystal, is shown to have blazing properties similar to those of class ical diffraction gratings. Several different optogeometric configurations a re shown numerically to exhibit an almost perfect blazing in the - 1st refl ected order with a plateaulike spectral dependence in nonpolarized light.
