Abstract
Furthermore, no photon can exist inside a large (theoretically infinite) photonic crystal for frequencies belonging to a gap. As a result, an atom or a molecule implanted in the interior of a large photonic crystal would remain in the first excited state, since spontaneous emission is inhibited, provided that the relevant excitation energy (divided by Planck's constant) falls within the gap. The transmission coefficient of em waves of gap frequency exhibits a dramatic drop (see Fig.2b) providing thus a direct way to experimentally determine the gap.
