(Color online) projected BSs of the IWG for (light blue-colored dashed line with hollow circles) and (purple-colored dashed lines with filled circles), as well as a single PC surface terminated with annular scatterers (magenta-colored dash-dotted lines) and two identical surfaces in proximity (solid lines with triangles where the red-colored filled and the pink-colored empty triangles represent the surface and WG bands, respectively). Inside the PBG, WG bands lie above the light line, while surface bands lie below the light line. The solid shaded areas are the bulk bands, whereas the graded rectangular area represents the full TM PBG. The horizontal thick dash-dotted line (black-colored) indicates the wavelength of interest, i.e., .
