29. For the highly localized defect cavities studied here the energy associated with the curvature of a higher-order envelope function within the defect region is on the order of the energy associated with the Bloch part of the field.
30. As a result of nonidealities in the fabrication process (Ref. 26), the air holes near the center of the cavity are larger than those at the perimeter in the fabricated devices. A linear grading of the hole radius of 10% is quite common.
