Full Description
This book introduces students to the rapidly expanding field of photonic crystals, photonic band gap (PBG) materials, and light localization phenomena. Written by one of the leading authorities on PBG materials, this book is the first comprehensive and highly illustrative book on this important field of photonics. The book covers those aspects of light localization and the PBG concept which rely maily on classical, linear optics. Also covered are extensions to classical and semi-classical, nonlinear optics, novel quantum electrodynamic effects in and near a PBG involving photons and two- level systems, current and future applications of photonic crystals in information technology, and a future outlook for the field. A DVD containing supplemental and education material accompanies the text. Movie clips, interactive 3D graphs and user-friendly software allow the student to visualize the material and calculate electromagnetic wave propagation in photonic crystals.
