Photonic Crystals Theory Applications and Fabrication

This is one of the first books to present both detailed theoretical background and the application of such theory towards the design and development of realistic photonic based devices Presents in detail the various applications examined to date Provides the theoretical background necessary to understand the fundamental physics underlying the crystalline nature of photonic crystal structure Deals not only with the bandgap properties of photonic crystals but also their unique dispersion properties and their potential application
