Bound states in the continuum (BICs) are a striking example of how a solution to a simple
problem of quantum mechanics, obtained about a century ago, can serve as an incentive to …

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 …

We present calculations of surface reflectivity and emission spectra for multilayer dielectric
waveguides with a two-dimensional patterning of deep holes. The spectra are obtained …

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 …

The finite-difference time-domain method is applied to the calculation of dispersion relations
of acoustic waves in two-dimensional (2D) phononic lattices, ie, periodic solid-solid, solid …

Strong coupling between resonant states is usually achieved by modulating intrinsic
parameters of optical systems, eg, the refractive index of constituent materials or structural …

Electronic devices and their highly integrated components formed from semiconductor
crystals contain complex three-dimensional (3D) arrangements of elements and wiring …

We describe experiments on a quasi-two dimensional (2-D) optical system consisting of a
triangular array of air cylinders etched through a laser-like Ga (Al) As waveguiding …

Since the pioneering work of Yablonovitch ten years ago, photonic band gap (PBG)
materials have become the subject of a well-established domain of electromagnetism, with …

We describe two electrochemical self-assembly processes for producing highly ordered
quasi-periodic arrays of quantum dots on a surface. The advantages of these techniques …
