Abstract

An inverse Doppler shift occurs in a photonic crystal (PC) bounded by a\nmoving wall. The interpretation of this result has stirred some controversy. In\nthis paper, we address the problem using a diagrammatic approach. This visual\nrepresentation provides immediate insight into the phenomenon, and is a\npowerful tool for the design of time-varying PCs.\n
