## Abstract It is possible by the application of voltage to control the local level in a oneβdimensional photonic crystal with a liquid crystal defect layer. In the present paper, a nematic liquid crystal is used and highβspeed switching is attempted on the basis of the shift of the localized state

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
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
