TLDR
In this paper, the authors describe photonic crystals as the analogy between electron waves in crystals and the light waves in artificial periodic dielectric structures, and the interest in periodic structures has been stimulated by the fast development of semiconductor technology that now allows the fabrication of artificial structures, whose period is comparable with the wavelength of light in the visible and infrared ranges.Abstract:
The term photonic crystals appears because of the analogy between electron waves in crystals and the light waves in artificial periodic dielectric structures. During the recent years the investigation of one-, two-and three-dimensional periodic structures has attracted a widespread attention of the world optics community because of great potentiality of such structures in advanced applied optical fields. The interest in periodic structures has been stimulated by the fast development of semiconductor technology that now allows the fabrication of artificial structures, whose period is comparable with the wavelength of light in the visible and infrared ranges.read more

Suggested procedure for the use of the effective-index method for high-index-contrast photonic crystal slabs
TL;DR: In this paper, a procedure for the use of the effective index method EIM for high-index-contrast photonic crystal slabs PCSs is proposed and discussed, and the gap map in the guided-mode spectrum of the hole-type PCS with those of hole- type two-dimensional photonic crystals 2-D PCs with different re- fractive indices is compared.

Photons in dispersive dielectrics
TL;DR: In this paper, the electromagnetic components of the polariton modes in a dispersive dielectric medium differ from the mode amplitudes of the electromagnetic field in a non-dispersive dielectic medium.

Adsorption and order formation of colloidal nanoparticles on a substrate: A Brownian dynamics study
TL;DR: The critical force is used to develop a new model to estimate the surface coverage at the order-disorder transition and it is demonstrated that the new model gives better estimation than other models previously reported.

TL;DR: In this article, a class of π;-conjugated compounds that exhibit large δ (as high as 1, 250 × 10−50 cm4 s per photon) and enhanced two-photon sensitivity relative to ultraviolet initiators were developed and used to demonstrate a scheme for three-dimensional data storage which permits fluorescent and refractive read-out, and the fabrication of 3D micro-optical and micromechanical structures, including photonic-bandgap-type structures.
