Confined Photon Systems Fundamentals and Applications

Confined Photon Systems Fundamentals and Applications / edited by Henri Benisty, Jean-Michel Gerard, Romuald Houdre, John Rarity, Claude Weisbuch.

Confined photon system such as microcavities and photonic crystals are currently of great interest, both in terms of fundamental physics and as a result of potential applications. They enable the study of low-dimensional photonic systems, modified light-matter interaction, e.g. between excitons and...
