An Introduction to Photonic Crystals
During the past five years, there has emerged a new class of materials called photonic band gap materials or, more simply, photonic crystals. The underlying concept behind these materials stems from early noti...

Microcavities in Channel Waveguides
We introduce and analyse a new type of resonant microcavity consisting of a channel waveguide and a one-dimensional photonic crystal. A band gap for the guided modes is opened and a state is created within the...
