Facebook X LinkedIn Email
The Optical Society (OSA), the leading global professional association in optics and photonics, has announced Eli Yablonovitch as the recipient of its 2019 Frederic Ives Medal/Jarus W. Quinn Prize, the OSA’s top honor for a “pioneer” in the field of optoelectronics and photonic bandgap research. OSA officials said Yablonovitch, of the University of California, Berkeley, is being honored for “diverse and deep contributions to optical science including photonic crystals, strained semiconductor lasers, and new record-breaking solar cell physics.” Ursula...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...
