... shown in figure 3, is described below. First, consider the modes that are not confined to the glass, and extend into the air and out to infinity. Far away from the glass, these modes must closely resemble free-space √ plane waves ...

... shown in figure 4, corresponding to the right panel of figure 2. The gap arises from this difference in field energy location. Consequently, we will still refer to the upper band as the air band and the lower as the dielectric band. We ...
