There is much current interest in transparent metallic materials. These are optical materials based upon photonic band-gap structures which are created by combining films of metals and dielectrics. Transparent materials are used to produce devices having electrically variable optical properties. Such photonic devices exhibit increased speeds of operation, reduced size and increased immunity to temperature changes. The book references 202 original resources with their direct web links for in-depth reading.
