The aim of the work is give an overview of the activity in the field of Photonic Crystal developed in the frame of COST P11 action . The main objective of the COST P11 action was to unify and coordinate national efforts aimed at studying linear and nonlinear optical interactions with Photonic Crystals (PCs), without neglecting an important aspect related to the material research as idea and methods of realizations of 3D PC, together with the development and implementation of measurement techniques for the experimental evaluation of their potential applications in different area, as for example telecommunication with novel optical fibers, lasers, nonlinear multi-functionality, display devices, opto-electronics, sensors.
The book contains contributions from authors who gave their lecture at the Cost P11 Training School.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
From the reviews:
"The book begins by explaining the basics of photonic crystals using the framework of quantum mechanics on periodic structures, well known as Bloch modes, in all dimensions of the actual crystals. . This work also provides a useful update for photonics and laser professionals/researchers on photonic band-gap devices as fundamental devices for future laser nanotechnology applications. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through professional collections." (G. J. Fochesatto, Choice, Vol. 47 (4), December, 2009)
