Abstract
Photonic band gap (PBG) materials are a new class of dielectric materials which exhibit a complete three-dimensional gap to electromagnetic wave propagation. These materials facilitate two novel and fundamental optical principles, namely (i) the coherent localization of light and (ii) the control and inhibition of spontaneous emission of light from atoms and molecules.
