Abstract
Photonic crystals behave toward light waves as semiconductors do toward electron waves. Yablonovitch discusses a report by Noda et al., who have made a photonic crystal with unprecedented performance, using GaAs, the best material for integration into optoelectronic devices. According to Yablonovitch, the work thus represents a significant step toward photonic integrated circuits.Keywords
