Preface
After 1987 Yablonovitch's milestone paper, photonic crystals have been the topic of a huge num‐
ber of papers. For many years, photonic crystals have been investigated both theoretically and ex‐
perimentally because of their peculiar and intriguing properties for nanophotonic applications,
such as laser generation, optical sensing, beam filtering, anisotropic property control, high field
confinement, and so on. In particular, after the first demonstration of two-dimensional photonic
crystal at optical wavelengths, planar slabs have been investigated to efficiently fabricate two-di‐
mensional photonic crystals by etching the hosting slab or by forming pillars over the slab. To this
aim, several technologies have been applied to derive photonic crystal properties in hosting mate‐
rials, such as semiconductor slabs (III/V alloy compounds, silicon and compounds), metamateri‐
als and others, as well as in photonic crystal fibers. Nowadays, many international research
groups are still very active in this topic, since many theoretical aspects in modeling and design of
photonic crystals, as well as in fabrication aspects, are not yet well standardized.
This book presents some advances of the international research in the field, collecting many chap‐
ters relevant to different theoretical and experimental aspects of photonic crystals, mainly two-
dimensional, for Nanophotonics applications. Chapters are written by some important
international research groups. The book is divided in two parts, a theoretical section followed by
a section devoted to experiments and applications. First part includes chapters developing several
numerical methods for analysis and design of photonic crystal devices, such as 2D ring resonators
for filters, single and coupled nanobeam cavities, birefringence in photonic crystal cavities, propa‐
gation in anisotropic photonic crystals, threshold analysis in photonic crystal lasers, gap solitons
in photonic crystals, novel photonic atolls, dynamic characteristics of linear and non linear pho‐
tonic crystal filters. Second part includes four chapters focusing on many aspects of photonic crys‐
tals fabrication and applications, such as nitrogen defect technology in diamond, silicon nitride
free standing membranes, silicon photonic crystals structures, applications of photonic crystals
for optical sensing.
I would like to acknowledge the efforts of all the contributing authors for the best quality of the
chapters collected in this book. Moreover, I would like to thank Ms. Mirna Cvijic, Ms. Sandra Bak‐
ic and Ms. Ana Pantar, who have subsequently followed the book publishing process, for their
great help in the preparation of this book, in particular the tasks of chapter proposal collection
and manuscript editing and correction.
