Finite-thickness photonic crystals (PC's) with periodically corrugated interfaces are suggested to realize some unusual features in the behavior of transmitted Bragg beams (diffraction orders). The scattering of s -polarized plane waves by such structures is studied. It follows from the numerical results that rather thin corrugated PC's borrow their basic properties from both conventional PC's and gratings, leading to some new effects.
