16. This is one possible basis for the theoretical structure. The actual physical modes of the system will consist of linear combinations of these basis states.
17. Mode profiles have been calculated by three-dimensional (3D) finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) code commercially available from Lumerical Computer Solutions Inc.
18. Quality factors are computed by integrating the Fourier components within the light line at a plane located just above the GaAs slab, similar to Ref. 19.

31. In general, the physical modes of the system will be linear combinations of the DX and DY modes and can be predicted by a simple measurement of the far-field polarization of each mode. We restrict this letter to the case of DX and DY modes for simplicity.
