In this work we demonstrate an interesting opportunity to decrease drastically the group velocity of light in two-dimensional photonic crystals constructed form materials with large dielectric constant without dispersion (3 d w100). The group velocity of light in the crystals can be lowered up to 10

β¦ Synopsis
We review some of the recent advances in the theory of photonic crystals, drawing examples from our own work in magneto-optical and dynamic photonic crystals. The combination of theory and simulations shows that these crystal structures exhibit rich optical physics effects, and can provide new ways to accomplish sophisticated optical information processing tasks.

## Abstract It is emphasized that twoβdimensional photonic crystals (2D PC) have not only a great potential for the development of 2D nanophotonics in the inplane waveguided configuration, but that they may also open the way to other brilliant developments, with an extension to outβofβplane operati
