Résumé
Abstract

Après un bref passage en revue des propriétés de base des cristaux photoniques bi-dimensionnels idéaux, nous décrivons les avancées récentes qui montrent comment mettre à profit leurs puissantes capacités de contrôle de la lumière dans des systèmes optoélectroniques faisables. Deux des domaines d'application principaux sont l'optique intégrée et les fibres microstructurées. Nous nous concentrons sur le premier, plus proche du concept d'origine de bande interdite photonique. Nous illustrons au travers de divers éléments optiques – simple cristaux, guides, cavités – les particularités du confinement dans ces systèmes.

After a brief review of the basic properties of ideal two-dimensional photonic crystals, we describe the recent advances that have led to them being considered candidates in realistic, feasible optoelectronic systems that take advantage of their powerful light control capability. Two main fields of applications are integrated optics and microstructured fibres. We focus on the former one, closer to the genuine photonic gap concept. We illustrate through a number of optical elements – simple crystals, guides and cavities – the peculiarities of confinement by such systems.
