Photonic crystals are commonly implemented in media with periodically varying optical properties. Photonic crystals enable exquisite control of light propagation in integrated optical circuits, and also emulate advanced physical concepts. However, common photonic crystals are unfit for in-operando on/off con...
Photonic crystals are optical structures that periodically repeat to achieve different applications, such as bending light, filtering, and mirrors. One of the simplest configurations of a photonic crystal is to set up two different dielectric materials that are repeated periodically in a single direction...
The science of light and colour manipulation continues to generate interest across a range of disciplines, from mainstream biology, across multiple physics-based fields, to optical engineering. Furthermore, the study of light production and manipulation
We consider Maxwell’s equations with periodic coefficients as it is usually done for the modeling of photonic crystals. Using Bloch/Floquet theory, the problem reduces in a standard way to a modification of the Maxwell cavity eigenproblem with periodic boundary conditions. Following [8], a modific...
The resulting photonic crystals modify drastically the distribution of electromagnetic modes participating to the radiation field, and can therefore be tailored to either inhibit or enhance light-matter interac- tions as well as light extraction efficiencies3–5. Recently, these PhC properties have been...
The bidirectional beam propagation method based on the method of lines is proposed as an innovative and efficient algorithm to investigate the optical properties of photonic band gap (PBG) structures. A few examples illustrate the application of this technique to the modeling of passive, lossy and ...

It is common belief that photonic crystals behave similarly to isotropic and transparent media only when their feature sizes are much smaller than the wavelength of light. Here, we counter that belief and we report on photonic crystals that are transparent for anomalously high normalized frequencies ...
PhCs, fabricated in various dimensions, are optical materials used for controlling light flow and manipulating it. They exhibit photonic band gaps, limiting light propagation, and are extensively researched for high-sensitivity sensing devices26. One-dimensional photonic crystals (1D PhCs) modulate ...
