Phenomena near the band edge of photonic crystals

[vtahmoorian]

Hi everyone:)
Is there anyone who has worked on the phenomena near the band edge of photonic crystals?
for example spontaneous emission near the band edge?
there are lots of articles specially from Sajeev John " spontaneous emission near the edge of a photonic band gap" Phys.Rev.A vol50 num 2 1994.
I am redoing his job as a first step of my idea but I have faced some problems drawing the atomic population with MATLAB.
I would appreciate if anyone can help me on this
Thank you in advance
Vahideh

This result came up pretty quickly:

Not sure if it's relevant, but there's also photonic analogs for topological insulators (localized states):

Good! but not exactly related to what I am looking for:s
But thank you for your sharing
