Review
"Photonic Crystals, edited by Kurt Busch, Stefan L?¶lkes, Ralf B. Wehrspohn and Helmut F?¶ll collects together excellent contributions from a number of experts - mainly from Germany - in the field of photonic bandgap structures. The book, with a foreword by S. John, reviews the state-of-the-art in the field with great emphasis on the achievements of the German scientific community." (Cefe L??pez, Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid (CSIC), Madrid, Advanced Materials, Vol. 16, No. 22, November 18, 2004) From the Back Cover
The majority of the contributions in this topically edited book stems from the priority SP1113 Photonische Kristalle program run by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), resulting in a survey of the current state of photonic crystal research in Germany. The first part of the book describes methods for the theoretical analysis of their optical properties as well as the results. The main part is dedicated to the fabrication, characterization and modeling of two- and three-dimensional photonic crystals, while the final section presents a wide spectrum of applications: gas sensors, micro-lasers, and photonic crystal fibers.

Illustrated in full color, this book is not only of interest to advanced students and researchers in physics, electrical engineering, and material science, but also to company R&D departments involved in photonic crystal-related technological developments.

Readers will gain valuable insights into the relative strengths and weaknesses of these important technologies. The Fourth Edition features new and expanded coverage of several key technologies and techniques, including increased emphasis on CMOS circuits in Chapters 3-7; a new chapter covering fully differential amplifiers and common-mode feedback circuit analysis using return ration in addition to the two-part feedback analysis; and new coverage of two-stage MOS op-amp compensation, single-stage op amps, and nested Miller compensation. FEATURES Coverage of cutting-edge topics. The new edition features more advanced CMOS device electronics, including short-channel effects, weak inversion and impact ionization. State-of-the-art IC processes. The text shows how modern integrated circuits are fabricated, including recent issues like heterojunction bipolar transistors, copper interconnect, and low permittivity dielectric materials. Unified treatment of bipolar and CMOS circuits. This format takes readers through each step in designing real-world amplifiers in silicon. Open-ended design problems. A number of open-ended design problems, included in the problem sets, exposes the reader to real-world situations where a range of circuit solutions may be found to satisfy a given performance specification. Extensive use of SPICE. SPICE is an integral part of many examples in the problem sets.
