Abstract
This presentation will show never-before-seen colorful micrographic images of select natural silicate specimens interacting with various laser sources. These micrographs will reveal a closely magnified view of materials with rare properties, such as anti-Stokes upconversions and negative index metamaterials. In contrast to currently available manufactured materials, the natural materials to be presented display these rare properties under conditions in which the currently available manufactured materials cannot function, e.g. ambient temperatures, ambient pressures, no radioactive elements, no heavy metals, no added photons, no electricity and ambient air environment. A goal is to develop materials with the photonic control displayed by these natural materials for applications that include: solar power, space exploration, energy efficiency, stealth technologies, photonic waveguides and data storage/transmission.
