What Are the Key Components of Nanophotonic Circuits?
The main components of nanophotonic circuits include:
Waveguides: These are structures that guide light along a specific path. Photonic Crystals: These materials have periodic structures that affect the motion of photons. Resonators: These are devices that confine light to small volumes by reflecting it multiple times. Modulators: These adjust the properties of light, such as amplitude or phase, to encode information. Detectors: These convert light signals back into electronic signals for further processing.
