... optical materials. It is with these goals in mind that this book is written. Photonic. Crystals. What sort of material can afford us complete control over light propagation? To answer this question, we rely on an analogy with our ...
... optical control impossible to generalize. Photonic crystals allow the useful properties of cavities and waveguides to be generalized and scaled to encompass a wider range of frequencies. We may construct a photonic crystal of a given ...
... optical fiber. Finally, in chapter 10, we use the tools and ideas that were introduced in previ- ous chapters to design some simple optical components. Specifically, we see how resonant cavities and waveguides can be combined to form ...
