Confined photon systems : fundamentals and applications : lectures from the summerschool held in Cargèse, Corsica, 3-15 August 1998 /

Confined photon system such as microcavities and photonic crystals are currently of great interest, both in terms of fundamental physics and as a result of potential applications. They enable the study of low-dimensional photonic systems, modified light-matter interaction, e.g. between excitons and...
