"exponentially amplify light... crystals uniform in space, exhibit periodic oscillation in time, creates momentum band gaps where light pauses inside crystal while intensity grows exponentially over time... when excited, particle emits tiny light at specific wavelength, captured/ amplified by crystal, enabling more efficient detection... array of tiny silicon spheres used to predict special conditions needed... high-efficiency light amplifiers, optical computing, imaging, faster and more compact lasers, nanosensors"
