Photonic Crystals: Molding the Flow of Light - Second EditionSince it was first published in 1995, Photonic Crystals has remained the definitive text for both undergraduates and researchers on photonic band-gap materials and their use in controlling the propagation of light. This newly expanded and revised edition covers the latest developments in the field, providing the most up-to-date, concise, and comprehensive book available on these novel materials and their applications.

... refracted angle B2 given by Snell's law. When e2 < e1 , we can have no solution B 2 for certain B1 , and the light undergoes total internal reflection. A generalization of this result follows from translational symmetry, which tells us ...
... refracted, propagating at some angle (of the group velocity) within the crystal. And, depending upon the frequency, the interface periodicity, and the band structure, there may also be a finite number of additional reflected and/or ...

... refracted wave(s) is similar to that of reflection: we look for propagating waves in the crystal with frequency L ... refracted waves (if any), and in what states/directions they propagate. = = (The amplitudes of the refracted and ...
... refracted wave(s). Although the fixed-k line may intersect the photonic-crystal contours in several places, not all of these correspond to distinct refracted waves. First, we can eliminate any intersections (pink dots) corresponding to ...
