Abstract
Currently, many efforts are devoted to a novel class of dielectric composites known as photonic crystals. Fundamental interest in these materials is spurred by the possibility of a photonic band gap, a frequency range for which no modes exist at all. Exciting prospects arise when photonic band gap crystals are switched on ultrafast timescales [1]. In particular, switching photonic band gap crystals provides dynamic control over the density of states, and over directional propagation.
