Abstract: The limited diversity and reconfigurability greatly hinder the application and development of optical nonlinearity. To address this issue, we propose a photonic nonlinear synthesizer (PNS) ...

Breakthrough in photonic time crystals could change how we use and control light The new discovery could dramatically enhance technologies like lasers, sensors and optical computing in the near future ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Sciences; DOI 10.29026/oea.2025.240114, discusses an ultra-high-Q photonic crystal nanobeam cavity for etchless lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI ...

Photonic Crystals (PhCs) are periodic nanostructures with sizes comparable to the optical photons’ wavelengths, which can break through the critical angle limit. Thorough experimental investigation of ...

To store energy with a time crystal, make it a double. A mathematical analysis shows that putting two time crystals into a coordinated state could create a quantum battery-like device. Time ...

The look, which was created by celebrity nail artist Tom Bachik, features over 250 crystals. Bachik is responsible for some of our favorite celebrity manicures ever, and he frequently works with ...

The crystal consists of Te-sheets separated by Eu-Te slabs and forms a 1a×3b×2c superlattice at room temperature. The material displays a polar order due to the in-phase stacking of polarization ...

One potential application for photonic time crystals is in nanosensing. Asadchy added, “Imagine we want to detect the ...

An international research team has for the first time designed realistic photonic time crystals –– exotic materials that exponentially amplify light. The breakthrough opens up exciting possibilities ...
