Photonic crystals are a periodic dielectric optical nanostructure that is intended for forming the energy band structure to exhibit the motion of photons. They are utilized to manipulate, control and diffract the light. Currently, photonic crystals are available in three varying types, such as one, two, and three-dimensional (1D, 2D, and 3D). Among these the one-dimensional crystals are created by getting stuck together or layers of deposits, whereas 2D are designed by drilling holes and photolithography. On the other hand, 3D photonic crystals are formulated by drilling distinct layers, and assembling 2D layers.

Photonic Crystals Market Trends:
The widespread adoption of photonic crystals across various industrial verticals, such as information technology (IT), healthcare, life sciences, commercial, aerospace, and defense, is one of the key factors driving the photonic crystals market growth. In line with this, the increasing demand for light-emitting diode (LED) products is considerably contributing to the market growth. Additionally, the growing demand for 2D photonic crystals in the commercial sector for interacting with ultracold atoms and engineering the light emission patterns, optical dispersion, and photon-mediated coherent communications is creating a positive outlook for the market. The numerous initiatives undertaken by the regulatory bodies of various nations for promoting the usage of green photonics to protect the environment by reducing the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by transport, land use, and agricultural activities is positively stimulating the market growth. Moreover, photonic crystals are also used in bio sources, optical fibers, image sensors, lasers, supercontinuum sources, photovoltaic (PV) cells, and discrete optical components, which, in turn, is driving the market toward growth. Other factors, such as the rising investments in research and development (R&D) activities in the field of electrical engineering, and the escalating deployment of photonic crystals for trapping solar energy for its more effective usage, are driving the market toward growth further across the globe.
