PHOTONIC CRYSTALS

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Written for undergraduate students and researchers, the second edition of Photonic Crystals: Molding the Flow of Light addresses photonic bandgap materials and their use in controlling the propagation of light. Covering current developments in the field, this illustrated 304-page volume includes new chapters on photonic crystal fibers and combined index and bandgap guiding. The authors demonstrate how the ability of the crystals to localize light can be applied in devices such as filters and splitters. Chapters have been expanded and revised to include many new 3-D photonic crystals, a...Read full article

    light
    Electromagnetic radiation detectable by the eye, ranging in wavelength from about 400 to 750 nm. In photonic applications light can be considered to cover the nonvisible portion of the spectrum which includes the ultraviolet and the infrared.
    photonic crystals
    Photonic crystals are artificial structures or materials designed to manipulate and control the flow of light in a manner analogous to how semiconductors control the flow of electrons. Photonic crystals are often engineered to have periodic variations in their refractive index, leading to bandgaps that prevent certain wavelengths of light from propagating through the material. These bandgaps are similar in principle to electronic bandgaps in semiconductors. Here are some key points about...
