Researchers use magnetic fields to freeze light in its tracks
Researchers from AMOLF and Delft University of Technology have demonstrated a new technique to stop light waves using magnetic fields at the nanoscale. They deformed a two-dimensional photonic crystal, which is an array of tiny holes in silicon that light can pass through. By precisely disrupting the regular pattern of the crystal, they were able […]
