Shocked Photonic Crystals Tune Light

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Daniel S. Burgess

In a series of "numerical experiments," researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge have discovered novel frequency-shifting and bandwidth-narrowing phenomena that occur when light interacts with a shock wave in a photonic crystal. They suggest that the effects may have applications in telecommunications and photovoltaics. Figure 1. Computer simulations have revealed novel phenomena that occur when light interacts with a shock wave in a photonic crystal. In this series, the light propagating to the left is momentarily trapped at the front of the shock wave, is...Read full article
