... wavelengths, or “colors,” of light). We will also see that a photonic crystal can allow propagation in anomalous and useful ways. To develop this concept further, consider how metallic waveguides and cavities relate to photonic crystals ...
... wavelength, when incident on such a layered material, is completely reflected. The reason is that the light wave is partially reflected at each layer interface and, if the spacing is periodic, the multiple reflections of the incident ...
... wavelength of light). Let us now be a little more concrete. Consider a plane of glass of width a centered about the origin. We now wish to understand the band structure of the electromagnetic modes, by which we mean the frequency L ...
... wavelength (given by A = 27c/L). We are emphasizing general principles of periodic systems that will apply equally well to the more complicated two- and three-dimensional structures of the later chapters. It is worthwhile, however, to ...
... wavelength Am = 27c/L m satisfies the relations Am /n1 = 4d1 and Am /n2 = 4d2 , which means that the individual layers are exactly a quarter - wavelength in thickness . For this reason. THE MULTILAYER FILM 51.
