商品描述

The collection of articles in this book offers a penetrating shaft into the still burgeoning subject of light propagation and localization in photonic crystals and disordered media. While the subject has its origins in physics, it has broad significance and applicability in disciplines such as engineering, chemistry, mathematics, and medicine. Unlike other branches of physics, where the phenomena under consideration require extreme conditions of temperature, pressure, energy, or isolation from competing effects, the phenomena related to light localization survive under the most ordinary of conditions. This provides the science described in this book with broad applicability and vitality. However, the greatest challenge to the further development of this field is in the reliable and inexpensive synthesis of materials of the required composition, architecture and length scale, where the proper balance between order and disorder is realized.
Similar challenges have been faced and overcome in fields such as semiconductor science and technology. The challenge of photonic crystal synthesis has inspired a variety of novel fabrication protocols such as self-assembly and optical interference lithography that offer much less expensive approaches than conventional semiconductor microlithography.
Once these challenges are fully met, it is likely that light propagation and localization in photonic microstructures will be at the heart of a 21st-century revolution in science and technology.
―From the Introduction, Sajeev John, University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada

One of the first books specifically focused on disorder in photonic structures, Optical Properties of Photonic Structures: Interplay of Order and Disorder explores how both order and disorder provide the key to the different regimes of light transport and to the systematic localization and trapping of light. Collecting contributions from leaders of research activity in the field, the book covers many important directions, methods, and approaches. It describes various one-, two-, and three-dimensional structures, including opals, aperiodic Fibonacci-type photonic structures, photonic amorphous structures, photonic glasses, Lévy glasses, and hypersonic, magnetophotonic, and plasmonic–photonic crystals with nanocavities, quantum dots, and lasing action. The book also addresses practical applications in areas such as optical communications, optical computing, laser surgery, and energy.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書中的文章集深入探討了光子晶體和無序介質中光的傳播和局域化這一仍在蓬勃發展的主題。雖然這個主題起源於物理學,但在工程學、化學、數學和醫學等學科中具有廣泛的重要性和應用性。與其他物理學分支不同,這些現象在最普通的條件下仍能存在。這使得本書中描述的科學具有廣泛的應用性和活力。然而,這個領域進一步發展的最大挑戰在於可靠且廉價地合成具有所需組成、結構和尺度的材料,以實現有序和無序之間的適當平衡。

類似的挑戰在半導體科學和技術等領域已經面臨並克服。光子晶體合成的挑戰激發了各種新穎的製造協議,如自組裝和光學干涉光刻,這些方法比傳統的半導體微影術更經濟實惠。

一旦這些挑戰完全滿足,光在光子微結構中的傳播和局域化很可能成為21世紀科學和技術革命的核心。

這是第一本專門關注光子結構中無序的書籍之一,《光子結構的光學性質:有序與無序的相互作用》探討了有序和無序如何成為不同光傳輸區域以及光的系統性局域化和捕獲的關鍵。本書收集了該領域研究活動的領導者的貢獻,涵蓋了許多重要的方向、方法和途徑。它描述了各種一維、二維和三維結構,包括蛋白石、非週期性費波那契型光子結構、光子非晶結構、光子玻璃、勒維玻璃以及具有納米腔、量子點和激光作用的超音速、磁光和等離子-光子晶體。本書還討論了在光通信、光計算、激光手術和能源等領域的實際應用。
