Shaped light waves penetrate further into photonic crystals

Physics World

An international team of researchers has succeeded in steering light waves deep into “forbidden” regions of photonic crystals by manipulating the shape of the waves. The technique, which was developed by scientists at the University of Twente in the Netherlands, the University of Iowa, US and the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, takes advantage of nanoscale channels created naturally when the crystals are fabricated, and could find use in a host of optoelectronics applications.
