There is increasing interest in the development of novel optical devices fabricated from photonic crystals (PhCs) and metamaterials. This attention is primarily due to these devices’ wide range of ...
Degenerate band edge (DBE) phenomena represent a striking feature in periodic photonic structures, in which four Bloch eigenmodes coalesce at a unique point in the dispersion diagram. This degeneracy ...
A new technical paper titled “Utilizing photonic band gap in triangular silicon carbide structures for efficient quantum nanophotonic hardware” was published by researchers at UC Davis. “Silicon ...
When two lattices with distinct angles or periodicities come together, they conjure a moiré superlattice — a realm where astonishing phenomena like superconductivity and optical solitons spring to ...
A collaborating team of NTT Corporation (NTT) and Tokyo Institute of Technology (Prof. Masaya Notomi in Physics Department) has succeeded in achieving photonic topological phase transition by material ...
Physicists have engineered light to drift sideways in discrete, quantized steps inside a fiber-optic loop, reproducing a ...
A research team led by SUTD has created nanoscale glass structures with near-perfect reflectance, overturning long-held assumptions about what low-index materials can do in photonics. Subscribe to our ...
Scientists have theoretically predicted that light can be bent under pseudogravity. A recent study by researchers using photonic crystals has demonstrated this phenomenon. This breakthrough has ...
Optical tricks that have given butterflies, beetles and other creatures an evolutionary advantage are beginning to teach physicists a thing or two about advanced photonics, as Pete Vukusic explains ...
Photonic coatings are based on their optical properties which are applied in electronics and are associated with biomimetic fabrication, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, etc. As stated above, these ...
A collaborative group of researchers has manipulated the behavior of light as if it were under the influence of gravity. The findings, which were published in the journal Physical Review A on ...
