A groundbreaking discovery in the field of light manipulation has been made by a team of researchers from the Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) in South Korea. This breakthrough, which involves controlling hybrid light-matter particles, has the potential to revolutionize the way we design and implement next-generation displays.
The research team has achieved a world-first in controlling hybrid light-matter particles, paving the way for the development of advanced photonic devices. This achievement is built upon the unique bandgap properties of photonic crystals, which can control wave propagation and even completely inhibit waves in certain frequency ranges. By unveiling novel finite barrier bound states, the researchers have opened up new possibilities for understanding and controlling the localization of light waves.
