Title: Photonic Materials: Recent Advances and Emerging Applications
Description: In this book, scientists present the latest trends and research in the broad field of photonics and photonic materials applications. The 14 chapters are categorized into tracks that give a snapshot of the field including basic sciences (photonics, plasmonics, advanced optics, nanophotonics) and applications (renewable energy, fiber-optics, lasers and smart materials). The book starts with a summary of recent developments in photonic crystal (PC) applications. This introduction is followed by chapters that present design concepts and investigations of PC devices such as:- All-optical XOR gates using 2D photonic crystals- One-dimensional PCs containing germanium (Ge).- Graphene surface plasmonics- Nanophotonics and fiber-optic lasers- Chalcogenides- Bragg Fibers and more The broad range of topics make this an informative source on current and exciting photonics research, and the variety of photonic materials. It serves as a reference for graduate scholars (in physics and materials science) and allied researchers who have a keen interest in photonics.
