TLDR
It is shown that in dielectrics exhibiting a complete photonic band gap, quantum electrodynamics predicts the occurrence of bound states of photons to hydrogenic atoms.Abstract:
It is shown that in dielectrics exhibiting a complete photonic band gap, quantum electrodynamics predicts the occurrence of bound states of photons to hydrogenic atoms. When the atomic transition frequency lies near a photonic band edge, the excited atomic level experiences an anomalous Lamb shift and splits into a doublet. One member of this doublet exhibits resonance fluorescence whereas the other level is dressed by the emission and reabsorption of near-resonant photons whose amplitude decays exponentially from the vicinity of the atom.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, an atom trapped near a photonic crystal seeds a localized, tunable cavity mode around the atomic position, which facilitates interactions with other atoms within the cavity length, in a way that can be made robust against realistic imperfections.

Electromagnetic wave propagation in periodic structures: Bloch wave solution of Maxwell's equations
Ze Zhang,Sashi Satpathy +1 more
TL;DR: There is a depletion in the photon density of states, seemingly a remnant of the Mie resonance, giving rise to a pseudogap in the spectrum that is quite strong for dielectric-sphere packing fraction.
