Abstract
We show that photons in laterally confined Bragg mirrors may experience Blo ch oscillations similar to those of electrons in semiconductor superlattice s. In particular, Bloch oscillations of light within a photonic miniband of a porous silicon Bragg mirror is modelled by a proper scattering-state sim ulation scheme. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
