"Photonic crystals' unique property of controlling propagation states of photons because of photonic bandgaps provides an ideal platform for the realization of integrated photonic devices applied in ultrahigh-speed information-processing chips. This book concentrates on the primary principles of photonic crystals and important research progress of photonic crystal devices. It focuses on photonic crystal all-optical switching, tunable photonic crystal filter, photonic crystal laser, photonic crystal logic devices, and photonic crystal sensors. The book comprises three theoretical and experimental analyses of the realization of various functions of photonic crystal devices, preparation techniques, measurement methods, and potential applications."--Back cover.
