Fundamentals of Photonic Crystal Waveguides

  • Chapter
Photonic Crystal Fibres

Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to introduce the general concept of photonic crystals. The chapter will start by guiding the reader to an understanding of photonic crystals and explain their basic characteristics, and indicate methods of fabrication and potential applications. The purpose of the chapter is not to give an exhaustive presentation of the wide field of photonic crystals, but to establish a fundamental understanding of the concepts, terminology and theoretical tools that is required for conducting research in photonic crystal waveguides. Readers interested in general aspects of photonic crystals are pointed to the introductory book by Joannopoulos et al, [2.1], or the more recent book by Johnson et al. [2.2]. We may also recommend one of the very good web-sites [2.12], where relevant papers such as e.g., [2.90-2.91] may be found.
