During the last decade, photonic crystals, also known as photonic microstructures or
photonic bandgap structures, have matured from an intellectual curiosity concerning …

This review focuses on the optical properties and device applications of deterministic
aperiodic media generated by mathematical rules with spectral features that interpolate in a …

Nanophotonics is where photonics merges with nanoscience and nanotechnology, and
where spatial confinement considerably modifies light propagation and light-matter …

All five velocities can differ from each other. In linear passive dispersive media, the group,
energy, signal, and front velocities coincide and are usually less than the phase velocity …

It is shown that omnidirectional reflection (ODR) is possible from quasi-periodic isotropic
dielectric stacks following a Fibonacci sequence (FS). The transition from truly periodic to …

Wave propagation through a subclass of deterministic nonperiodic media, namely, fractal
Cantor multilayer structures are investigated theoretically as well as experimentally …

Using the concept of an effective medium, we derive coupled mode equations for nonlinear
quadratic interactions in photonic band gap structures of finite length. The resulting …

We study theoretically the propagation of large-wave-vector waves (volume plasmon
polaritons) in multilayer hyperbolic metamaterials with two levels of structuring. We show …

The technology evolution of optical interconnection is driven by the distance× product
required for a given link. As such optical fiber deployment in telecommunications has …

The TM propagation properties of planar 12??? fold photonic quasi-crystal patterns are
theoretically examined using FDTD. The patterns examined can be produced using a dual …
