Light Localization

Light Localization is the phenomenon wherein electromagnetic waves are confined to sub-wavelength volumes within a photonic crystal due to the formation of resonant modes arising from structural periodicity and defects, distinguishing it from other light-matter interaction phenomena by its reliance on bandgap engineering and interference effects.
