20. Here the same optical fiber taper near-field probe is used to both excite the PC cavity modes and to map their spatial profile. Other works employing evanescent coupling from eroded mono-mode fibers to excite silica microsphere whispering-gallery modes have used a secondary fiber tip to collect and map the mode profiles (Ref. 19).
21. The maximum transmission depth achieved for the mode of interest was ∼ 10%, though coupling to other modes reached depths as large as ∼30%. Coupling in all cases was limited to the under-coupled regime (Ref. 28).

25. eff is defined relative to peak electric field energy density, rather than electric field strength, a factor η must be included for dielectric cavities where the two values are not equal. η∼0.42 for our cavity.
