localization <strong>of</strong> light to a fraction <strong>of</strong> a cubic length, etc. The main objective is the search<br />
for a structure that will display the much needed characteristics in the infrared<br />
wavelength range, so that such a material can be used to construct lasers in that particular<br />
range. In doing so, the work presented in this thesis will focus on the analysis <strong>of</strong> certain<br />
samples <strong>of</strong> <strong>photonic</strong> <strong>crystals</strong>. Transmissivity measurements, in particular, will be<br />
analyzed towards the end <strong>of</strong> this thesis. To realize most <strong>of</strong> the applications, it is crucial to<br />
have a <strong>photonic</strong>-band-gap crystal lattice that can be easily and reproducibly fabricated.
