This book provides a multidisciplinary perspective (ranging from chemistry to physics and biology) of the current research and applications of Organic and Hybrid Photonic Crystals. The authors detail the chemical and physical tools used to develop organic photonic crystals, explain methods for engineering new nano-structures, and propose novel physical phenomena or technological applications based on such materials. Organic and Hybrid Photonic Crystal lasers, sensors, photovoltaic devices and stimuli responsive devices are discussed.
