... photonic crystals. The different colors represent materials with different dielectric constants. The defining feature of a photonic crystal is the periodicity of dielectric material along one or more axes. case of one-dimensional crystals ...
... photonic crystals, while introducing some terminology from solid-state physics. To develop the basic notions underlying photonic crystals, we begin by review- ing the properties of one-dimensional photonic crystals. In chapter 4, we ...
... photonic crystal , we begin with the Maxwell equations . After specializing to the case of a mixed dielectric medium , we cast the Maxwell equations as a linear Hermitian eigenvalue problem . This brings the electromagnetic problem into ...
... photonic crystals , we will usually make use of numerical solutions . In quantum mechanics , the lowest eigenstates typically have the amplitude of the wave function concentrated in regions of low potential , while in electrody- namics ...
... photonic crystal : They are a family of continuous functions , w1 ( k ) , indexed in order of increasing frequency by the band number . The information contained in these functions is called the band structure of the photonic crystal ...
