  • Abstract
    Summary form only given. I review and discuss the role of three-dimensional light localization in the development of integrated optics on a photonic crystal micro-chip. The control and selective inhibition of spontaneous emission in a three dimensional photonic band gap material offers the possibility of developing novel active devices on such a chip.
