Topological photonics is a rapidly emerging field of research in which geometrical and
topological ideas are exploited to design and control the behavior of light. Drawing …

Modern nanotechnology allows one to scale down various important devices (sensors,
chips, fibers, etc.) and thus opens up new horizons for their applications. The efficiency of …

The current research into solitons and their use in fiber optic communications is very
important to the future of communications. Since the advent of computer networking and …

This important book focuses on the synthesis and fabrication of nanostructures and
nanomaterials, but also includes properties and applications of nanostructures and …

Photonic crystals are materials patterned with a periodicity in dielectric constant, which can
create a range of'forbidden'frequencies called a photonic bandgap. Photons with energies …

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 …

Achieving control of light-material interactions for photonic device applications at nanoscale
dimensions will require structures that guide electromagnetic energy with a lateral mode …

The further integration of optical devices will require the fabrication of waveguides for
electromagnetic energy below the diffraction limit of light. We investigate the possibility of …

We propose a new type of optical waveguide that consists of a sequence of coupled high-Q
resonators. Unlike other types of optical waveguide, waveguiding in the coupled-resonator …

We analyze the properties of two-dimensionally periodic dielectric structures that have a
band gap for propagation in a plane and that use index guiding to confine light in the third …
