Description:	Sketch of a finite system of nanorods including the definition of relevant parameters. Inset: scheme of the structure of a photonic crystal waveguide of variable width illuminated by a Gaussian beam. The intensity map corresponds to actual calculations of the electric field intensity (with the electric field perpendicular to the plane of the figure). Calculations correspond to Si nanorods in air with D=0.6 ìm, a/D=0.16, ë=1.33 ìm, and è0=45°. In this particular case W=2D
