Collaborating with Momentive on the project are Soraa Inc of Goleta, CA and Advanced Photonic Crystals LLC of Fort Mill, SC.

The gateway uses transformation optics and a 'superscatterer' made from photonic crystals to create an 'optical illusion', forcing light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation into complicated directions to hide the portal.

Discussion encompasses photonic crystals, microspheres, pillars, and other types of artificial optical cavities with embedded semiconductor quantum wells, wires, and dots.

In nature, photonic crystals are responsible for the iridescent surfaces of some butterfly wings.

Presents in detail the various applications examined to date * Provides the theoretical background necessary to understand the fundamental physics underlying the crystalline nature of photonic crystal structure * Deals not only with the bandgap properties of photonic crystals but also their unique dispersion properties and their potential applications Key Topics Covered: Chapter 1: Introduction.

Topics include integrated analysis of scramjet flowpath with innovative inlets, a parallel 3D FDTD simulator for photonic crystals, enhancements to the extensible data model and format (XDMF), and memory leak detection in FORTRAN applications using TAU.

Those materials include photonic crystals (SN: 8/21/04, p.

A sampling of individual paper topics includes core/rim structure in cobalt/tungsten carbide nanocomposite powder, constrained growth of the PMMA photonic crystals, design of a micropositioning table for active grinding control, and DNA detection with pdp-Dextran functionalized Ag nanoparticles.
