Abstract

Kossel diffraction under standing-wave excitation in a one-dimensional photonic crystal is investigated. It is shown that by combining the reciprocity theorem, the Fermi golden rule and the concept of density of photonic modes, it is possible to predict the behaviour of the Kossel diffraction in such a system.
