12. Since this paper was submitted, it has been shown that in-plane transmission measurements can also yield some dispersion information, from the analysis of finite size effects in lattices consisting of just a few rows of holes.

18. Even a 1% error in the refractive index leads to a significant shift of (Formula presented) in the energies of the bands.
19. The 2D calculation is based on standard band-structure methods, for example, Ref. 11, but takes into account the energy dependence of the refractive index.
