Download or read book Photonic Crystals written by Pankaj Kumar Choudhury and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2019-10-09 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of dielectric mirrors is very important in optics. These are used for several purposes like imaging, fabricating laser cavities, and so on. The basis for the propagation of photons in dielectric mediums is the same as electrons in solid crystals. If the electrons can be diffracted by a periodic potential well, photons could also be equally well diffracted by a periodic modulation of the refractive index of the medium. This idea led to the development of many new artificial photonic materials and optical micro- and nanostructures. Since the mechanism of light guidance is essentially due to the microstructural features of the medium, a wide variety of photonic structures, e.g., photonic band-gap fibers in 1D and photonic band-gap crystals in 2D and 3D, can be realized. Photonic Crystals - A Glimpse of the Current Research Trends essentially highlights the recent developments in the arena of photonic crystal research. It is expected to be useful for expert as well as novice researchers; the former group of readers would be abreast of recent research advancements, whereas the latter group would benefit from grasping knowledge delivered by expert scientists.

Download or read book Photonic Crystals Systems and Applied Principles written by Jason Penn and published by . This book was released on 2015-02-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renowned researchers from across the globe have contributed significant research inferences in this extensive book. Photonic crystals are described as the periodic optical nanostructures that are designed to affect the motion of photons in a similar way that periodicity of a semiconductor crystal affects the motion of electrons. This book introduces the concepts of innovative systems and materials to the readers. It provides comprehensive information regarding characterization approach of photonic crystal waveguides, photonic crystal lasers as well as plasmonics. Photonic crystal materials have the potential of enabling all-optical computer circuits and can also be utilized to design ultralow-power light sources. There is an in-depth account on lasers from microscopic cavities in photonic crystals acting as reflectors for intensifying the collisions between photons and atoms. This leads to lazing, but these lasers are optically-pumped, meaning that these lasers are themselves driven by other lasers. Furthermore, the physical principles behind the phenomenon of slow light in photonic crystal waveguides, as well as their practical limitations, have also been elucidated. The nature of slow light propagation, its bandwidth restraint, coupling of modes and specific kind terminating photonic crystals with metal surfaces enabling propagation in surface plasmon-polariton waves have also been described. The aim of this book is to provide an analysis of these mentioned issues to provide readers with a better understanding about photonic crystals.
