Abstract
We show that the properties of the confined modes of a photonic band-gap (P BG) waveguide can be calculated with good accuracy by replacing it with an effective corrugated waveguide that represents only the structure in the vi cinity of the middle slab. Such a replacement is helpful in the design of t he PBG waveguides as well as in the understanding and analysis of the coupl ing of different waveguides.
