Solar light is widely recognized as one of the most valuable renewable energy sources for
the future. However, the development of solar‐energy technologies is severely hindered by …

Photonic nanostructures, manipulating and confining light on the nanometer scale, provide
new opportunities to improve the efficiency of solar energy conversion. Optical microcavities …

This is the first comprehensive textbook on the optical properties of photonic crystals. It deals
not only with the properties of the radiation modes inside the crystals but also with their …

Since the advent of quantum mechanics and the clear demonstration of the existence
of'matter waves', physicists have never failed to take advantage of concepts and theoretical …

In this study, 3D-photonic crystal design was utilized to enhance incident photon-to-electron
conversion efficiency (IPCE) of WO3 photoanodes. Large-area and high-quality WO3 …

We present a material assembly route for the manufacture of dye-sensitized solar cells,
coupling a high-surface mesoporous layer to a three-dimensional photonic crystal (PC) …

We have experimentally observed the eigenmode splitting due to coupling of the
evanescent defect modes in three-dimensional photonic crystals. The splitting was well …

We present an approach and a theoretical framework for generating high-order exceptional
points of degeneracy (EPDs) in photonic structures based on periodic coupled resonator …

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) offer interesting possibilities in photovoltaics which is the
technology of harvesting solar photons to generate electricity. Improving the charge …

We demonstrate two orders of magnitude enhancement of light absorption in certain thin-film
photonic crystal (PC) architectures due to strong resonances arising from parallel interface …
