What are Photonic Crystals and Their Applications?
Photonic crystals are nanostructures that affect the motion of photons, similar to how semiconductors control electrons. They can be used to: - Control Light Propagation: By creating bandgaps that prevent certain wavelengths from passing through. - Create Integrated Circuits: Enabling the development of compact and efficient photonic integrated circuits. - Enhance LEDs and Solar Cells: Improving light extraction and absorption efficiency.
