... energy band structure of the crystal, meaning that electrons are forbidden to propagate with certain energies in certain directions. If the lattice potential is strong enough, the gap can extend to cover all possible prop- agation ...
... energy is quickly dissipated within metallic components, which makes this method of optical control impossible to generalize. Photonic crystals allow the useful properties of cavities and waveguides to be generalized and scaled to ...
... energy of the field and not just its spatial profile , the overall multiplier is important . " Next , we say that an operator Ê is Hermitian if ( F , ÊG ) = ( ÊF , G ) for any vector fields F ( r ) and G ( r ) . That is , it does not ...
... Energy and the Variational Principle Although the harmonic modes in a dielectric medium can be quite complicated , there is a simple way to understand some of their qualitative features . Roughly , a mode tends to concentrate its ...
