The general concept of Bloch surface wave excitation
The top left figure is a multilayer structure made up of stacked periodic dielectric structures. Light is incident from the left. The angle of incident is changed gradually from a minimum to a maximum as can be seen from the animation.
The top right figure is the spectral response of the structure on the top left. At the Bloch surface wave resonance angle, we observe a dip in the spectral response.
The bottom figure is the electric field distribution in the top left figure at the Bloch surface wave wavelength and angle. At the Bloch surface wave wavelength and angle, the electric field is intense at the surface (right side of the multilayer) as can be seen from the animation
Using photonics to Filter images using the so-called spatial frequencies
This is your Project Description. It’s a great place to describe your Project in more detail. Add images and provide visitors with essential information about your work, including the project length, partnerships or any successful outcomes. To hook new potential clients, show how your work has provided solutions for past clients.

Quite interesting the see the effect of a cavity on photons and its relation to the Squeeze State of light
Quantum optics
Quantum mechanics and optics research has played an enormous role in Telecommunication. Security, Quantum Key Distribution, and Teleportation
About Us
Photonics Ghana is a group of Ghanaian experts in Photonics and students pursuing Photonics related course bot at undergraduate and graduate level. We seek to create an avenue for experts and students in Photonics to connect, collaborate, and to share ideas that will lead to a positive collaboration with industry and academia with an emphasis on research collaborations with Africa. One of our core mandates is to educate and support the training that will arouse the interest of young scientist in Physics and the applications of Photonics in
Ghana. The group will play a key role in promoting the use of Photonics applications in addressing the everyday challenges of our country as well as assisting in demonstrating the potential of Photonics as a driver for economic growth in Ghana and Africa at large. The group will also highlight the contribution of Ghanaians in the field of Photonics.
Mission
To position Ghana as the gateway to Africa in photonics education and application. Photonics Ghana seeks
to create an avenue for experts and students in photonics to connect, collaborate, and to share ideas. It also
seeks to educate and to support the training of young scientists in Ghana.
Vision
Promoting research and economic growth through photonic applications in Ghana and Africa.
