Theory, Applications and Fabrication of Photonic Crystals

Research and Markets, the leading source for international market research and market data has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new report "Photonic Crystals, Theory, Applications and Fabrication" to their offering.

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 applications

Key Topics Covered:

• Introduction.
• Preliminary Concepts Of Electromagnetic Waves And Periodic Media.
• Numerical Methods.
• Devices and Applications Based on Photonic Bandgaps.
• Engineering Photonic Crystal Properties.
• Fabrication.
