摘要

Photonic crystals are artificial materials made of periodically arranged insulating structures that are specially designed to aid the trapping and confinement of light within a very small area. These crystals offer the possibility of confining light on sub-wavelength scales in air, and provide a foundation for guiding light through circuit paths in a three-dimensional (3D) optical (as opposed to electronic) microchip without energy loss caused by light scattering. The crystals also enable unprecedented strong coupling effects between light and semiconductor nanocrystals, known as quantum dots. These effects provide a route to fast information processing and computing by optical means. However, such tantalizing opportunities require that photonic crystals be accurately synthesized and that light be efficiently manipulated both inside and at the surface of the crystal without loss. In this issue (page 367), Ishizaki and Noda take an important step towards achieving these goals by demonstrating the control of light at the surface of a suitably constructed, gallium-arsenide-based, 3D photonic crystal.
