Description

When optical components are reduced to the nanoscale, they exhibit interesting properties that can be harnessed to create new devices. For example, imagine a block of material with thin layers of alternating materials. This creates a periodic arrangement of alternating dielectric constants, forming a "photonic crystal" that is analogous to the electronic crystals used in semiconductor devices. Photonic crystals, along with quantum dots and other devices patterned at the nanoscale, may form the basis for sensors and switches used in computers and telecommunications. More information on Nanophotonics can be found here.

  2. Surprises on the nanoscale: Plasmonic waves that travel backward and spin birefringence without magnetic fields

    Online Presentations | 08 Jan 2007 | Contributor(s):: Daniel Neuhauser

    As nanonphotonics and nanoelectronics are pushed down towards the molecular scale, interesting effects emerge. We discuss how birefringence (different propagation of two polarizations) is manifested and could be useful in the future for two systems: coherent plasmonic transport of near-field...

  3. Surprising Nanophotonic Phenomena in Nature

    Online Presentations | 11 Jul 2016 | Contributor(s):: Peter Bermel

  13. Three-Dimensional Photonic Crystals

    Online Presentations | 11 Feb 2008 | Contributor(s):: Minghao Qi

    A photonic crystal (PhCs) is typically a composite of a high-dielectric-constant material (e.g. Si) and a low-constant one (e.g. SiO2 or air), arranged periodically in space. Two dimensional examples include a hexagonal lattice of air holes drilled in a Si slab, or a set of Si rods at square...

  14. Topological Materials as Platforms for New Particles and Electromagnetic Responses

    Online Presentations | 06 Jun 2019 | Contributor(s):: Joel Moore

    We then turn to how topological Weyl and Dirac semimetals can show unique electromagnetic responses; we argue that in linear response the main observable effect solves an old problem via the orbital moment of Bloch electrons, and how in nonlinear optics there should be a new quantized effect,...
