Description: The control of optical modes by periodic dielectric structures and microcavities will provide the performance improvements required for the next generation of light emitting diodes, semiconductor lasers and displays. This book brings together expert reviews of microcavity physics, studies of novel two- and three-dimensional photonic bandgap materials, and quantum optical studies of strong coupling between the cavity mode and various light emitters. The broad coverage provides an excellent reference text for graduate students and researchers in the field of optical and solid state physics.
