Abstract
The interference patterns in the transmission spectra of a two-dimensi onal square photonic lattice calculated by the plane-wave expansion me thod are compared with its photonic band structure in detail. The effe ctive refractive indices obtained by both calculations correspond to e ach other quite well. In addition, aperiodic and singular interference patterns are found when the incident plane wave excites two eigenmode s with mutually different wave vectors. (C) 1997 Optical Society of Am erica.
