A number of researchers have suggested that lack of empathy is a critical feature in the
assessment and treatment of sex offenders. However, difficulties with definitions of empathy and …

Near the band edge of a one-dimensional photonic band gap structure the photon group
velocity approaches zero. This effect implies an exceedingly long optical path length in the …

We numerically investigate nonlinear propagation of ultrashort pulses in a one-dimensional
photonic band gap structure. We find that, near the band edge, nonlinear effects cause a …

Although political views have been thought to arise largely from individuals' experiences,
recent research suggests that they may have a biological basis. We present evidence that …

We derive an exact expression for the electromagnetic mode density, and hence the group
velocity, for a finite, N-period, one-dimensional, photonic band-gap structure. We begin by …

We investigate numerically the properties of metallo-dielectric, one-dimensional, photonic
band-gap structures. Our theory predicts that interference effects give rise to a new transparent …

We present a numerical study of second-harmonic (SH) generation in a one-dimensional,
generic, photonic band-gap material that is doped with a nonlinear χ (2) medium. We show …

We present results of a theoretical investigation into a nonlinear thin‐film multilayer device
that exhibits passive anisotropic optical transmission—the analogue of the electronic diode. …

Using numerical methods, we study pulse propagation near the band edge of a one‐dimensional
photonic band gap material with a spatial gradiation in the linear refractive index, …

We discuss the linear dispersive properties of finite one-dimensional photonic band-gap
structures. We introduce the concept of a complex effective index for structures of finite length, …
