Trapping light: a long lifetime in a very small place
Rochester NY (SPX) Jun 17, 2014 - Physicists at the University of Rochester have created a silicon nanocavity that allows light to be trapped longer than in other similarly-sized optical cavities. An innovative design approach, which mimics evolutionary biology, allowed them to achieve a 10-fold improvement on the performance of previous nanocavities. In a paper published in Applied Physics Letters and featured on the cove ... more
