Finite size scaling of the density of states in photonic band gap crystals

Abstract

Photonic crystals are tailored periodic dielectric media that allow for an unprecedented control in the manipulation of light-matter interactions. One of their outstanding features is the realization of a complete photonic band gap that drastically inhibits light propagation in all directions and for all polarizations. A band gap is associated with a complete vanishing of the density of optical states (DOS) in the crystal. As a necessary corollary, it implies a vanishing of the local DOS (LDOS) too, which leads to a complete inhibition of spontaneous emission everywhere inside such a crystal.
