Introduction
Photonic crystals are crystals that are characterized by the presence of nanoscale patterns of segments with varied dielectric constants.
It is beyond doubt that the theoretical premise of photonic crystals is not of modern vintage. The study of photonic crystals, in some ways, draws from the study of properties of light itself.
The fundamentals that govern the working of photonic crystals are not new at all. Most of them are rooted in the theory of electromagnetics. Photonic crystal behavior is thus governed by optical phenomena such as diffraction, dispersion, refraction, reflection as well as by Fresnel's equation on reflectance and transmittance and Maxwell's equations on electromagnetics.
With such a long-standing pedigree, it is intriguing that photonic crystals have struggled to occupy their rightful place in the various domains that they promise to influence now. There are two fundamental reasons for this occurrence:
• Difficulty in fabrication of photonic crystal enabled products
• Rapid strides in the area of electronic fabrication
Technology product designers are looking at photonic crystals to emerge as the gateway towards fabrication of the next generation of devices presently catered to by semiconductor-based technology.
Photonic crystals and their employment is probably the most ambitious and radical endeavor undertaken by stakeholders in their quest for solutions to the miniaturization dilemma.
Photonic crystals are one of the few realistic materials that promise seamless optical switching. Optical switching is the proverbial Holy Grail that will influence large-scale adoption of optical circuits in domains dominated by semiconductors and electronics.
The ability of photonic crystals to manipulate wavelengths based on the dielectric constant of the medium is its most potent appealing feature. Another appealing factor surrounding photonic crystals is that their properties can be managed to a large extent by altering the physical dimensions of the zones of different dielectric values.
BCC Research report provides information about the progress of a technology that is acquiring increasing surety and self-confidence across multiple domains i.e. Photonic Crystals. This report forecasts that photonic crystals will witness an upswing in industry interest across several domains and applications.
This report is useful to Photonic crystal technology experts to identify the key components and modules that hold greatest promise for their technology adoption. This report may also be helpful for end application device vendors that can benefit from the superior material attributes of photonic crystals and enhance the value of their products.
The information for this report has been collected through both primary and secondary research methodologies. Industry experts were interviewed; secondary sources included industry consortia, individual company financial statements, published opinions, and other published sources.
