Photonic Time Crystals: The Future of Wireless Communication and Lasers
In 2012, Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek first proposed the concept of time crystals, a type of material that repeats its pattern not in space, but in time. While some physicists were initially skeptical about their existence, recent experiments have successfully created time crystals. These artificial materials have unique properties that could potentially revolutionize various technologies. Recently, researchers have developed a new type of time crystal known as photonic time crystals. These crystals are based on optical materials and operate at microwave frequencies. They have the potential to amplify electromagnetic waves and improve the efficiency of wireless communication and laser technology. In this blog, we will explore the recent research on photonic time crystals and their potential applications in various fields. The Concept of Metasurface-Based Photonic Time Crystals In recent years, the concept of photonic time crystals (PhTCs) has emerged as an importa...
