“Phoamtonic Designs Yield Sizeable 3D Photonic Band Gaps” is published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Categories News Author chmadmin Read the full paper: here Link to the journal page: here Foams appear ubiquitously in many fields of science and technology. However, applications to photonics have not been possible because until now, foam-based 3D heterostructures with substantial complete photonic band gaps have not been identified. Here we provide explicit examples based on the edges of … Continue Reading “Phoamtonic Designs Yield Sizeable 3D Photonic Band Gaps” is published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
