Plasmonic crystal alters to match light-frequency source
October 30, 2013 • A device like a photonic crystal, but smaller and tunable ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Gems are known for the beauty of the light that passes through them. But it is the fixed atomic arrangements of these crystals that determine which light frequencies are permitted passage. Now a Sandia-led team has created...
