Local density of optical states in the three-dimensional band gap of a finite photonic crystal
Local density of optical states in the three-dimensional band gap of a finite photonic crystal
A three-dimensional (3D) photonic band gap crystal is an ideal tool to completely inhibit the local density of optical states (LDOS) at every position in the crystal throughout the band gap. This notion, however, pertains to ideal infinite crystals, whereas any real crystal device is necessarily finite. This raises the …
