Figure 4. Dispersion and eigenfields of the periodic PEC structure.

Figure 4

(a) Dispersion of the structure shown in Fig. 3g. Blue/red solid line denotes pseudospin-up/spin-down edge mode, which is even under reflection about z=−a/4. Green dashed lines denote Ez-polarized bulk plane wave modes propagating in the xy plane, which is odd under mirror reflection. The grey area represents the projected bulk modes (even) in a single PEC parallel plate waveguide. (b) Eigen electric field of the spin-up mode at kx=0.5(π/a). (c) Eigen electric field of the lowest plane wave band at kx=0.5(π/a).
