Photonic Crystal Fibers (PCFs) represent one of the most successful and impactful applications of photonic crystals. These specialized optical fibers incorporate a microstructured arrangement of ...

Researchers have developed a way to create photonic time crystals and shown that these bizarre, artificial materials amplify the light that shines on them. These findings could lead to more efficient ...

Concentrating light in a volume as small as the wavelength itself is a challenge that is crucial for numerous applications. Researchers from AMOLF, TU Delft, and Cornell University in the U.S. have ...

(Nanowerk News) The light control performance of photonic crystals is closely related to their lattice constant, which typically requires the lattice constant to be in the same order of magnitude as ...
