We derive an existence conditionKeywords: Band edge; Band gaps; Bloch modes; Existence conditions; Impedance matrices; PC interfaces; Surface modes; Three-layer structures; Two-dimensional photonic crystals; Waveguide mode; Crystallography; Microcomputers; Photonic crystals; Waveguides; Two dimenPhotonic-crystal surface modes found from impedances201010.1103/PhysRevA.82.0538402016-02-24
