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 ...

Techniques for Band Gap Engineering vary, including doping, the introduction of impurities into a semiconductor to alter its electrical properties; strain engineering, where stress is applied to ...

Some photonic crystals exhibit a photonic band gap, which is a range of frequencies in which there are no (propagating) electromagnetic states within the crystal; this is analogous to the band gap in ...

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 ...
