We review recent progress in the development of polymer nanostructured materials with
periodic structures and compositions having applications in photonics and optical data …

A new class of composite materials has emerged which provides a means to control and
manipulate light. These materials, known as photonic crystals, are periodic arrays of …

After dominating the electronics industry for decades, silicon is on the verge of becoming the
material of choice for the photonics industry: the traditional stronghold of III-V …

Although light propagation in weakly modulated photonic crystals is basically similar to
propagation in a diffraction grating in which conventional refractive index loses its meaning …

Extraordinary angle-sensitive light propagation, which we call a superprism phenomenon,
was demonstrated at optical wavelength in photonic crystals with three-dimensional-periodic …

We found that self-determining collimated light is generated in a photonic crystal fabricated
on silicon. The divergence of the collimated beam is insensitive to that of the incident beam …

Nanotechnology, science, and engineering spearhead the 21st century revolution that is
leading to fundamental breakthroughs in the way materials, devices, and systems are …

Since the advent of quantum mechanics and the clear demonstration of the existence
of'matter waves', physicists have never failed to take advantage of concepts and theoretical …

In the continuously evolving realm of nonlinear optics, epsilon near zero (ENZ) materials
have captured significant scientific interest, becoming a compelling focal point over the past …

We report on the first experimental evidence of negative refraction at telecommunication
wavelengths by a two-dimensional photonic crystal field. Samples were fabricated by …
