Which mechanism causes increased light transmission at specific wavelengths through photonic crystal structures?

💡 Explanation

Photonic band gaps prevent propagation of certain light frequencies; however, defects introduce localized states within the gap leading to transmission due to resonant tunneling. Therefore, light transmits at defect-mode wavelengths, rather than being entirely blocked generally.
