The introduction of defects in these ... A crystal with a 3-D photonic band gap is a powerful tool to control light, with applications for new types of solar cells, sensors and miniature lasers.

This periodic variation, in turn, produces a photonic “band gap” that affects how photons propagate through the crystal – similar to the way a periodic potential in semiconductors affects the flow of ...

We developed a perturbation theory based on structural orientation angles to enable rapid calculation and adjustment of photonic band gaps. Since both pseudo-spin and valley lattices are ...

Photonic crystals are optical materials with periodic changes in the dielectric constant on a length scale comparable to optical wavelengths. Dimensional types of photonic crystals, parallelism, ...

These crystals are nanostructured materials in which periodic variations of the refractive index on the length scale of visible light produces a photonic “band gap”. This gap affects how photons ...

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Advancements in Silicon Photonics, Wide Band Gap Semiconductors, and Displays" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. This Microelectronics TOE ...

The two men finished lunch on amicable terms. They also agreed on a name for their idea: It should be called a photonic band gap. Their idea has since been realized in the form of photonic crystals, ...

Photonic crystals, also known as photonic band-gap materials, are optical nanostructures that have been developed to impact the motion of photons, similar to how a semiconductor crystal affects the ...

This paper discusses the properties of metallodielectric resonant structures, also known as photonic band gap (PBG) structures, at microwave frequencies. Some possible applications of these structures ...
