Abstract
Within the context of this volume on confined photons and electrons, the notions of photonic band gap structures, light localisation and microcavities are widely used. It was pointed out some time ago that there is a connection between a cavity constructed from dimensional Bragg reflectors with a π/2 phase slip and a photonic band gap structure with an impurity. However, the connection between Fabry-Pérot microcavities and deep centre impurities has not been explicitly made. In this context it is a useful tutorial to consider the transition from one dimensional photonic band gaps to microcavities1.
