Overview

Photonic crystals are types of optical material being developed for commercial applications in industry. They are likely to provide a new tool for the manipulations of photons and have received the attention of both academia and industry. This study gives a detailed explanation of the background of photonic crystals, the theories behind them, numerical simulations, crystal structures, fabrication processes, evaluation methods and proposed applications. This also includes a roadmap addressing future development and applications. Industrial scientists, post-doctoral researchers and graduate students should find ""Roadmap on Photonic Crystals"" a useful tool in the understanding the critical aspects of photonic crystals.

"From the reviews: ""The main purpose of the book was to help promote the development of commercially available applications of photonic crystals in industry. It was based on proposals put forth by a Japanese association of optics (Optoelectronic Industry and Technology Development Association, OITDA) as a project called ‘Breakthrough Forum in Optics in Japan’. The book is useful to both graduate students and post-doctoral researchers at universities, as well as industrial scientists."" (Günter Mayer, Optik, Issue 116, 2005)"
