... Discrete vs. Continuous Frequency Ranges The spectrum of a photonic crystal is the totality of all of the eigenvalues w . What does this spectrum look like ? Is it a continuous range of values , like a rainbow , or do the frequencies ...
... discrete localized modes and a continuum of extended states . This is not too different from the case of a hydrogen atom , which has both bound electron states with discrete energy levels and also a continuum of freely propagating ...
... discrete and continuous ) are important because photonic crystals are periodic dielectrics , and because they provide a natural setting for the discussion of band gaps . Some of the terminology of solid - state physics is appropriate ...
