Abstract
In this chapter, the basic properties of photonic crystals are reviewed, along with some of the points of technological application of photonic crystals. New developments of photonic crystal technology are constantly being made and new technological applications for the design of photonic crystal based devices are frequently discovered. Due to this the present chapter is not meant to be a comprehensive review but is an introduction for students. Only an outline of the basic points needed to understand the principles of photonic crystal technology is made with some indications of where to pick up in the rather large literature on the subject.
