The collection of articles in this book offers a penetrating shaft
into the still burgeoning subject of light propagation and
localization in photonic crystals and disordered media. While the
subject has its origins in physics, it has broad significance and
applicability in disciplines such as engineering, chemistry,
mathematics, and medicine. Unlike other branches of physics, where
the phenomena under consideration require extreme conditions of
temperature, pressure, energy, or isolation from competing effects,
the phenomena related to light localization survive under the most
ordinary of conditions. This provides the science described in this
book with broad applicability and vitality. However, the greatest
challenge to the further development of this field is in the
reliable and inexpensive synthesis of materials of the required
composition, architecture and length scale, where the proper
balance between order and disorder is realized. Similar challenges
have been faced and overcome in fields such as semiconductor
science and technology. The challenge of photonic crystal synthesis
has inspired a variety of novel fabrication protocols such as
self-assembly and optical interference lithography that offer much
less expensive approaches than conventional semiconductor
microlithography. Once these challenges are fully met, it is likely
that light propagation and localization in photonic microstructures
will be at the heart of a 21st-century revolution in science and
technology. -From the Introduction, Sajeev John, University of
Toronto, Ontario, Canada One of the first books specifically
focused on disorder in photonic structures, Optical Properties of
Photonic Structures: Interplay of Order and Disorder explores how
both order and disorder provide the key to the different regimes of
light transport and to the systematic localization and trapping of
light. Collecting contributions from leaders of research activity
