Abstract

In this chapter we return briefly to the concept of a Fabry–Perot resonatorin the form of a (micro) cavityand then proceed to the cavity polaritons as a mixed state between a resonance in a solid (these are generally exciton resonances in quantum wells, wires or dots) and a cavity resonance. From there we reach, via different paths, the presently very active and potentially application-relevant field of photonic crystals with a subspecies known as photonic band gap materials.
