Quantum many‐body phenomena in coupled cavity arrays (2008, background): “Photonic crystals are structures with periodic dielectric properties which a ffect the motion of photons, in a similar manner as the periodicity of a semiconductor affects the motion of electrons [ 97 ].”
Effective optical properties of non-absorbing nanoporous thin films (2006, background): “However, all cases in the current study are outside of the zero transmission bands for the wavelengths considered [39].”
Optical solitons due to quadratic nonlinearities: from basic physics to futuristic applications (2002, background): “, 2000; Johnson and Joannopoulos, 2002). Discrete systems also may be used for an e7ective di7raction management and, in particular, to fabricate structures with negative e7ective di7raction (Eisenberg et al., 2000), which signi8cantly broadens the number of possible solitonic e7ects (Bang et al., 1”
Sonic crystals and sonic wave-guides (2005, background): “Since the similarities and the differences between photonic and electronic band structures were discussed and summarized by Yablonovitch [89] in 1993, photonic crystals have been intensively investigated with great physical interest as summarized by Joannopoulos et al [23] and by Johnson et al [24] ”
