Accurate analytic approximations are developed for the band gap boundaries and surface waves of a 1D photonic crystal, making use of the semiclassical theory recently developed by the authors: [Phys. Rev. E 69 (2004) 016612 and 70 (2004) 016606]. These analytic results provide useful insight on systematics of surface states.
