Photonic Crystals: Molding the Flow of Light - Second EditionSince it was first published in 1995, Photonic Crystals has remained the definitive text for both undergraduates and researchers on photonic band-gap materials and their use in controlling the propagation of light. This newly expanded and revised edition covers the latest developments in the field, providing the most up-to-date, concise, and comprehensive book available on these novel materials and their applications.

... resonant cavities and waveguides can be combined to form filters, bends, splitters, nonlinear “transistors,” and other devices. In doing so, we develop a powerful analytical framework known as temporal coupled-mode theory, which allows ...
... resonant cavity, carved out of a photonic crystal, would have perfectly reflecting walls for frequencies in the gap. Why does the photonic band gap appear? We can understand the gap's physical origin by considering the electric field ...

... resonances , rather than truly localized modes . Each resonance has a nonzero leakage rate y into the surrounding medium . Because these defect modes decay exponentially into the crystal , however , the value of y also decreases ...
