Photonic Crystals: Systems And Applied Principles Hardcover

Photonic Crystals: Systems and Applied Principles explores the science of materials that can control the flow of light. This book covers the physics of photonic bandgaps and the design of periodic dielectric structures. It explores applications in low-loss optical fibers, high-efficiency LEDs, and photonic integrated circuits. For optical physicists and nanotechnologists, the text provides a rigorous analytical framework for understanding how these "semiconductors of light" can be engineered to manipulate photons with unprecedented precision in future computing and sensing.
