This is simply not the case in reality! First, the 2D and 1D cases refer (of course) to physical systems where the light is trapped and can propagate in one or two spatial directions only - mathematically exact 2D or 1D systems don't exist in Nature (although they have great theoretical value)...

Of course light (both in the classical wave and quantum photon description) can propagate in 2D and even in "1D" - both cases can be experimentally realized, too. After all, this is what the wave guides are all about :-). Googling with 2D or 1D light/photons will give you ample references.
