Photonic band gaps and local self-uniformity : new perspectives on disordered optical media

Simple connections between structure and optical response empower us with essential intuition to engineer complex optical functionalities. In this thesis, I study photonic crystals, quasicrystals and amorphous materials to quantify the structural properties that give rise to photonic band gaps (PBGs...
