Optical characterization of active photonic crystals by Wong, Chee Cheong.

“…Such "slow photons", during interaction with matter such as emitting or absorbing centers, could give rise to new phenomena in optical absorption and emission, characteristics that cannot be obtained in any traditional optical material. This is a great opportunity to break new ground in optical materials science. …”

Polymer based optical MEMS (POEMS) by Franck Chollet.

“…The main reason behind this choice is the perceived superiority of polymers over silicon as optical material, particularly in the visible domain where silicon is opaque. …”
