... reflecting them, or allowing them to propagate only in certain directions, or confining them within a specified volume. Already, fiber-optic cables, which simply guide light, have revolutionized the telecommunications industry. Laser ...
... reflections of light from all of the various interfaces can produce many of the same phenomena for photons (light modes) that the atomic potential produces for electrons. One solution to the problem of optical control and manipulation ...
... reflection can be arranged only for near-normal incidence. If, for some frequency range, a photonic crystal prohibits the propagation of electromagnetic waves of any polarization traveling in any direction from any source, we say that ...
... also apply to the case of light propagating in a photonic crystal. We examine the consequences of translational, rotational, mirror-reflection, inversion, and time-reversal symmetries in photonic crystals, while introducing. 4 CHAPTER 1.
