Non-Optical Applications of Photonic Crystal Structures

Abstract

This study provides a comprehensive survey of current research on non-optical applications of photonic crystal concepts. Primary emphasis is placed on applications in the microwave (GHz), THz and acoustical regimes, including negative refraction and ultrasonics. Special attention will be devoted to research conducted outside the United States, which represents a significant portion of the relevant open literature. The study provides a summary of progress and problems remaining to be solved, and a discussion of possible Air Force applications of developments in non-optical photonic crystal research.
