Abstract
In this chapter, we briefly describe the history of the research on photonic crystals (PCs), and introduce some repesentative PC structures, samples of which have already been fabricated. We also present, on the basis of the concept of eigen-state for light, the concept of the photonic band (PB), which is important to understand for later chapters. In short, the reason that PCs are very attractive in controlling the radiation field and light propagation characteristics relies on the unique and prominent PB that a PC exhibits.
