(a) A qubit with excited state and ground state . The transition frequency is nearly resonant with the frequency range of the PhC reservoir. (b) Directional dependent dispersion relations near band edge expressed by the effective-mass approximation with the edge frequency as solid and dashed curves. (c) Photon DOS of the anisotropic PhC reservoir exhibiting forbidden photon mode below the edge frequency .
