Playing Tricks with Light
Abstract
Photonic materials--materials that interact strongly with light--may be the key to controlling and exploiting light in future optical devices. In analogy with the electronic band gap in insulators and semiconductors, materials with a photonic band gap can be constructed, with applications for example in novel optical fibers or lasers. Another type of photonic material exploits the surface properties of materials with a negative dielectric constant (such as most metals), which lead to nonlinear effects allowing the focusing of radiative energy in very small volumes. Future applications in light switching, another important aspect of optical technology, can be envisioned.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
