A team of professors from the University of Navarra works on the preparation and characterization of photonic crystals. These materials have optical properties for different uses. This will allow us in the future to have more efficient lasers and more power.

The structure of the energy bands of these materials with respect to photons is very similar to that of metals with respect to electrons, which gives these materials excellent characteristics for the development of tools with multiple applications in the field of communication, optoelectronics and medicine.
