Most of the materials used in these devices are challenging for certain applications because of a phenomenon known as optical reciprocity, an inherent symmetry which forces light to travel bidirectionally. One example of an application-based challenge is a high-powered laser, where back-scattered light caused by optical reciprocity can damage the instrument.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2019-09-topological-phases-class-optical-materials.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Researchers discover new topological phases in a class of optical materials<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Optical devices create, guide, and detect electromagnetic waves and include lasers, telescopes, and solar cells.
