Description for Photonic Crystals: Molding the Flow of Light - Second Edition
Hardback. Covers the developments in the field of photonics. This book develops the theoretical tools of photonics using principles of linear algebra and symmetry, emphasizing analogies with traditional solid-state physics and quantum theory. Num Pages: 304 pages, 94 color illus. 5 tables. BIC Classification: PNT. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 260 x 186 x 24. Weight in Grams: 1102.
Since it was first published in 1995, Photonic Crystals has remained the definitive text for both undergraduates and researchers on photonic band-gap materials and their use in controlling the propagation of light. This newly expanded and revised edition covers the latest developments in the field, providing the most up-to-date, concise, and comprehensive book available on these novel materials and their applications. Starting from Maxwell's equations and Fourier analysis, the authors develop the theoretical tools of photonics using principles of linear algebra and symmetry, emphasizing analogies with traditional solid-state physics and quantum theory. They then investigate the unique phenomena that take ... Read more
