54. One of the terms in Eq. (6) can be eliminated by adding (Formula presented) and exploiting time-reversal invariance.
55. We are always free to choose that (Formula presented) be concentrated in (Formula presented) since the k index is artificial.
56. In addition to the taper to/from the photonic crystal, the rod sequence is tapered adiabatically to/from a uniform waveguide at the edges of the computational cell to eliminate reflections, using the method of Sec. VI A A (reducing the period until the rods merge).
