BLOCH modes dressed by evanescent waves and the generalized Goos-Hänchen effect in photonic crystals

It is common knowledge that in an infinite periodic medium, for instance, an infinite photonic crystal, the direction of propagation of a monochromatic wave packet is given by the normal to the isofrequency diagram. We show that this is no longer true in a finite size medium, due to the existence of evanescent waves near the interfaces of the photonic crystal. We derive a renormalized isofrequency diagram giving the correct direction. We give a physical interpretation, showing that this phenomenon can be considered as a generalized Goos-Hänchen effect.
