Space-time crystals enable advances in optical materials

Berlin, Germany (SPX) Dec 10, 2024
Photonic time crystals, materials with consistent spatial composition but periodically varying properties over time, offer innovative pathways for optical information processing. These materials can modulate and amplify light's spectral composition, enabling advanced functionality. "This gives us new degrees of freedom but also poses a lot of challenges," said Professor Carsten Rockstuhl from Ka
