Reade Advanced Materials offers

Photonic Crystals

• Synonyms:
  
          Photonic band gap materials (PGB), photonic crystals (PC)
   

• Description:
  
          A photonic crystal (PC) is a new type of a manufactured material with refractive index periodically modulated on the scale of optical wavelengths. PCs have a number of peculiar features that can be
  utilized for realizing devices of novel or improved functionality. They exhibit photonic band gaps (PBGs), analogous to the electronic ones in semiconductors.
