Photonic Crystals: Towards Nanoscale Photonic Devices
InPhotonic Crystals: Towards Nanoscale Photonic Devices, Jean-Michel Lourtioz and his colleagues have come out with an impressive major valume that covers many of the main themes of photonic crystals... The English version, thanks to translator Pierre-Noel Favennec, has been worth the wait... Overall,Photonic Crystalsis an excellent book that can serve as an introductory text and a reference for graduate students and researchers.              --Eli Yablonovitch, UCLA, inPhysics Today, August 2006From the reviews of the second edition:“This comprehensive book is the excellent picture of modern view on the photonic crystals then today day and future. The wide covering of corresponding theoretical, model and experimental methods, and also broad spectrum applications of the photonic crystals allow one to recommend this book for students, engineers and specialists studying and working in different regions of nanotechnologies, nanomaterials and related scientific areas.” (I.
