Periodically structured materials exhibiting simultaneous photonic and phononic band gaps offer unprecedented ways to tailor photon-phonon interactions. A review of the works reported on these materials, sometimes termed "phoxonic crystals", is presented before highlighting theoretical and experimental results demonstrating phoxonic band gaps in struc-tures relying on guided elastic waves.
