Facebook X LinkedIn Email
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Oct. 17, 2012 — Photonic crystal fiber inventor Philip Russell was elected as The Optical Society’s (OSA) 2013 vice president, the organization announced Tuesday at Frontiers in Optics 2012. Three directors at large were also chosen by OSA members. Russell is founding director of the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in Erlangen, Germany, and holds the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach Chair in Experimental Physics at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. Russell’s research interests include photonic crystals, photonic crystal fiber, optical fiber devices, nonlinear...Read full article

    photonic crystals
    Photonic crystals are artificial structures or materials designed to manipulate and control the flow of light in a manner analogous to how semiconductors control the flow of electrons. Photonic crystals are often engineered to have periodic variations in their refractive index, leading to bandgaps that prevent certain wavelengths of light from propagating through the material. These bandgaps are similar in principle to electronic bandgaps in semiconductors. Here are some key points about...
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
