Throughout human history, the control of light, electricity and heat has evolved to become
the cornerstone of various innovations and developments in electrical and electromagnetic …

Photonic crystal fibers guide light by corralling it within a periodic array of microscopic air
holes that run along the entire fiber length. Largely through their ability to overcome the …

This is the first comprehensive textbook on the optical properties of photonic crystals. It deals
not only with the properties of the radiation modes inside the crystals but also with their …

Near the band edge of a one-dimensional photonic band gap structure the photon group
velocity approaches zero. This effect implies an exceedingly long optical path length in the …

We derive an exact expression for the electromagnetic mode density, and hence the group
velocity, for a finite, N-period, one-dimensional, photonic band-gap structure. We begin by …

We numerically investigate nonlinear propagation of ultrashort pulses in a one-dimensional
photonic band gap structure. We find that, near the band edge, nonlinear effects cause a …

We investigate numerically the properties of metallo-dielectric, one-dimensional, photonic
band-gap structures. Our theory predicts that interference effects give rise to a new …

Polystyrene colloidal crystals form three dimensional periodic dielectric structures which can
be used for photonic band structure measurements in the visible regime. From transmission …

Using numerical methods, we study pulse propagation near the band edge of a one‐
dimensional photonic band gap material with a spatial gradiation in the linear refractive …
