Title: Assembly of quasicrystalline photonic heterostructures

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1019420

A method and system for assembling a quasicrystalline heterostructure. A plurality of particles is provided with desirable predetermined character. The particles are suspended in a medium, and holographic optical traps are used to position the particles in a way to achieve an arrangement which provides a desired property.
