Abstract :
Using the dispersion relation of the Bloch modes inside photonic crystals, we develop a simple method to analyse and predict several effects such as the so-called superprism effect or negative refraction. These tools are also shown to be useful in the design of structures based on photonic crystals, for example, to canalize the emission in a small angular domain.
