TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that near the band edge of a one-dimensional photonic band gap structure the photon group velocity approaches zero, which implies an exceedingly long optical path length in the structure.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors numerically investigate nonlinear propagation of ultrashort pulses in a one-dimensional photonic band gap structure and find that nonlinear effects cause a dynamical shift in the location of the band gap.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated numerically the properties of metallo-dielectric, one-dimensional, photonic band-gap structures and showed that interference effects give rise to a new transparent metallic structure that permits the transmission of light over a tunable range of frequencies, for example, the ultraviolet, the visible or the infrared wavelength range.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a numerical study of second-harmonic (SH) generation in a one-dimensional, generic, photonic band-gap material that is doped with a nonlinear medium.

TL;DR: The concept of a complex effective index for structures of finite length, derived from a generalized dispersion equation that identically satisfies the Kramers-Kronig relations is introduced.
