Photonic Crystals – A Review
Abstract: Photonic crystals are periodically arrayed electromagnetic media, commonly having possessing photonic band gaps: ranges of frequency in which light cannot propagate through the structure. This periodicity, where the length scale is proportional to the wavelength of light in the band gap, is the electromagnetic analogue of a crystalline atomic lattice, where the latter acts on the electron wave function to make the familiar band gaps, semiconductors, and so on, of …
