== Photonic crystals == [[Photonic crystal]]s are non-conducting materials that reflect various wavelengths of light almost perfectly. Such a crystal can be referred to as a [[perfect mirror]]. Other devices employed in microphotonics include [[micromirror]]s and photonic wire waveguides. These tools are used to "mold the flow of light", a famous phrase for describing the goal of microphotonics. The crystals serve as structures that allow the manipulation, confinement, and control of light in one, two, or three dimensions of space.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Nanotechnology Applications to Telecommunications and Networking|last=Minoli|first=Daniel|publisher=John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
