PHOTONIC CRYSTALS: SEMICONDUCTORS OF LIGHT. “Nanostructured materials containing ordered arrays of holes could lead to an optoelectronics revolution, doing for light what silicon did for electrons. The key was proving the skeptics wrong by showing that it was possible to create for light the same kind of phenomenon seen in electronic semiconductors—namely, a so-called band gap” or the forbidden zone.
