Theory of thermal emission from periodic structures

We provide a momentum space formulation for thermal emission from photonic crystals and corroborate Kirchhoff's law for periodic structures. This formalism allows us to calculate the optical coherence in the far and near fields of photonic crystals. Calculations in the far field show that the e...
