Let’s Twist (Light) Again: UNamur & Stanford bend beams in photonic crystals
Physics and astronomy
An international team of researchers has just published an article in the prestigious journal Light: Science & Applications (LSA) from the Nature group. The teams led by Professors Michaël Lobet and Alexandre Mayer (University of Namur) collaborated with the team led by Professor Shanhui Fan, one of the leading experts in the field, from the prestigious Stanford University in California (USA). The result: an article entitled ‘Twist-Induced Beam Steering and Blazing Effects in Photonic Crystal Devices’, or the study of beam deflection by twisting in photonic crystal devices. Come on, let's twist light again at UNamur!
