Abstract
In this chapter, we will derive a general formula for the optical response of photonic crystals by means of the Green’s function given in Sect. 2.8. Then, it will be applied to four typical optical processes, i. e., dipole radiation, stimulated emission, sum-frequency generation, and free induction decay. This method can be readily extended to other kinds of nonlinear and coherent optical processes.
