Photonic crystals : nanostructures for controlling light

"Photonic Crystals" presents detailed coverage of all aspects of photonic crystal technology, from design and fabrication to applications.

It consists of a coherent set of contributions from an international group of experts, addressing topics that include a historical viewpoint, modeling methods for photonic crystals, optimization techniques for a new level of design, waveguide design, silicon-based photonic crystals, optical characterization, dispersion in space and time, photonic crystal fibers, quantum computing, spontaneous emission in periodic structures, and photonic crystals in nature.

It is ideal for graduate students and researchers in optics and optoelectronics.
