What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Photonic Crystals is a timely and well-written account of this new field.”–Nature “This book offers elegant full-color illustrations and is superbly produced. This has to be applauded in an era dominated by low-resolution digital images. In summary: Photonics Crystals is a beauty and is highly recommended to photonics, laser, and optical scientist.”–Optics Journal “This text is certainly pitched at a post third-year quantum mechanics, electromagnetism and solid-state physics level in the Australian context and is ideally suited to study at an Honours or a Masters level. [Images freely available from MIT complement this text]. Certainly for all who offer photonics courses, this book should be in your institution’s library if not on your shelf.”–John Holdsworth, Australian Physics
