Abstract
It is shown from numerical results deduced from a rigorous theory of diffraction that diffraction gratings made with two-dimensional dielectric photonic crystals may present blazing effects. Since these structures are lossless, efficiencies of 100% in the -1st order can be obtained in polarized light. Efficiency curves in Littrow mount are shown.
