Biophotonics and Optical Biosensors
Photonic crystals are optical materials that have a periodic structure on the scale of the wavelength of light, which allows them to control the flow of photons in much the same way that semiconductor crystals control electrons. These unique structures create photonic band gaps, which can block certain wavelengths of light while allowing others to pass, making them highly valuable in various applications in healthcare and research, such as enhancing imaging techniques and improving biosensing technologies.
congrats on reading the definition of Photonic Crystals. now let's actually learn it.
