DEPSCoR Project Mathematical Analysis of Photonic Band-Gap Materials 1997-2000

Abstract

The project was devoted to analytic and numerical study of photonic band-gap materials. Among the results of the study are: development and implementation of an efficient finite element method for computing spectra of 2D acoustic and photonic PBG materials; development and numerical and analytic study of new asymptotic models for mesoscopic photonic, acoustic, semi-conducting, and super-conducting structures; study of novel possibilities of "localization" of light in purely periodic structures; study of novel geometries that allow opening of large spectral gaps; obtaining new analytic results about effects caused by localized impurities; study of properties of dispersion curves with respect to the properties of solutions.
