Photonic Crystals: Optical Properties and Fabrication Book

Explore the science of periodic optical nanostructures with Photonic Crystals: Optical Properties, Fabrication & Applications. This volume within the Materials Science and Technologies series examines how these structures affect photon motion, much like semiconductor crystals affect electrons. Learn about the scientific study of photonic crystals in nature and their use as attractive optical materials for controlling and manipulating light flow. The text covers one-dimensional photonic crystals, which are already used in thin-film optics for applications such as high and low reflection coatings on mirrors and lenses. This book is a specialized resource for those studying nanotechnology science and technology.
