Quantum Dots and Applications
Photonic crystals are optical materials that have a periodic structure, designed to control and manipulate the flow of light. These materials can create photonic band gaps, which allow them to selectively reflect certain wavelengths while transmitting others, similar to how semiconductors control electron flow. This property makes photonic crystals significant in various applications, including in the development of lasers and sensors, where precise control over light is crucial.
