The smallest three-dimensional photonic crystal yet fabricated excludes light in the wavelength range around 1.5 microns. This range is important for fiber optic communications, and photonic crystal materials will be important in switching and amplifying applications.
This research is reported by Shawn Lin and other Sandia researchers in the 1 January 1999 issue of Optics Letters.
