Nonlinear photonic crystal — Nonlinear photonic crystals are usually used as quasi phase matching materials. They can be either one dimensional[1] or two dimensional.[2] Nonlinear Photonic Crystals Broadly speaking, nonlinear photonic crystals (PC) are periodic structures… … Wikipedia
Microphotonics — is a branch of technology that deals with directing light on a microscopic scale. It is used in optical networking. Microphotonics employs at least two different materials with a large differential index of refraction to squeeze the light down to … Wikipedia
Photonics — Refraction of waves of photons (light) by a prism The science of photonics[1] includes the generation, emission, transmission, modulation, signal processing, switching … Wikipedia
Prism (optics) — For other uses, see Prism (disambiguation). A plastic prism In optics, a prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that refract light. The exact angles between the surfaces depend on the application. The traditional… … Wikipedia
Photonic crystal — The opal in this bracelet contains a natural periodic microstructure responsible for its iridescent color. It is essentially a natural photonic crystal, although it does not have a complete photonic band gap. Photonic crystals are periodic… … Wikipedia
Perfect mirror — A perfect mirror is a theoretical mirror that reflects light (and electromagnetic radiation in general) perfectly, and doesn t transmit or absorb it.Domestic mirrors are not perfect mirrors as they absorb a significant portion of the light which… … Wikipedia
