Top-Down Design of Disordered Photonic Structures: Multidisciplinary Approaches Inspired by Quantum and Network Concepts

This book introduces recent advances in the deterministic design of photonic structures, which overcome the current limitation in conventional disordered materials. It develops new concepts for disordered photonics inspired by notions in quantum mechanics, solid-state physics, mathematics and network theory, such as isospectrality, supersymmetry, graph network, small-world, de Broglie-Bohm theory, and parity-time symmetry.

The multidisciplinary approach based on the core concepts of isospect...
