Photonic crystals are characterized by a spatial modulation of the dielectric constant on the length scale of the wavelength of light giving rise to energy ranges where light cannot propagate through the crystal - the photonic band gap.…

Diffractive systems are quantum-mechanical models with point-like singularities where usual semiclassical approximation breaks down. An overview of recent investigations of such systems is presented. The following examples are considered in…
