The modulation of luminescence is essential because unwanted spontaneous‐emission
modes have a negative effect on the performance of luminescence‐based photonic devices …

We describe the recent experimental progress in the control of spontaneous emission by
manipulating optical modes with photonic crystals. It has been clearly demonstrated that the …

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 …

Three-dimensional (3D) photonic crystals containing artificial point defects have been
fabricated to emit light at optical communications wavelengths. They were constructed by …

We review basic quantum electrodynamics and quantum optics aspects in microstructures
that exhibit a gap in the spectrum of the electromagnetic radiation they support, known as …

CdTe nanocrystals capped with 1-mercapto-2, 3-propandiol, CdSe nanocrystals capped
with sodium citrate, and core− shell CdSe/CdS nanocrystals capped with sodium citrate …

Photonic crystals (PhCs) have set up a new trend in optical materials thanks to their potential
to control the propagation of light in the linear and nonlinear regimes. These properties can …

Since the first report on dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) by O'Regan and Grätzel in
1991,[1] studies have been extensively performed in order to understand the operating …

We present a formalism for the description of fluorescence from optically active materials
embedded in a photonic crystal structure possessing a photonic band gap or pseudogap. An …

A review of the properties of silicon-based two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystals is given,
essentially infinite 2D photonic crystals made from macroporous silicon and photonic crystal …
