63. It is known in the grating literature that the application of coupled-wave analysis to the case of TM polarization is more difficult and special methods are needed to stabilize numerical convergence, as discussed by Ph. Lalanne and G. M. Morris, J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 13, 779 (1996).

65. In Ref. [55] a Brillouin diagram for the losses is shown, i.e., the imaginary part of the wave vector is displayed as a function of frequency. The meaning of the loss diagram is therefore different from those in Fig. 7, in particular the imaginary part of the wave vector is largest in the photonic gap regions.
