Refractive Properties of Photonic Crystals and Metamaterials
Photonic crystals can be used, either as mirrors or as reflective walls in waveguides, at wavelengths corresponding to band gaps. However, the possibility also exists of using them at wavelengths corresponding to their transmission bands, where these stru

Foreword
The Analogy between Electronic Waves and Electromagnetic Waves Since the advent of quantum mechanics and the clear demonstration of the existence of 'matter waves', physicists have never failed to take advantage of concepts and theoretical methods developed in the fields of optics and electromagnetism. Thus, a number of phenomena in solid state physics are commonly interpreted by analysing electronic excitations in terms of electronic waves. By contrast, the opposite situation has rarely occurred, and only on a few occasions have optics and electromagnetism borrowed concepts and theoretical methods from solid state physics. From this point of view, the emergence of photonic bandgap materials and photonic crystals at the end of the 1980s can be seen as a revenge to the benefit this time of optics and
