Calculated light-intensity distribution inside a "tilted" optical superlattice made up of coupled microcavities. The dark regions are photonic band gaps. A new study reports the observation of optical Bloch oscillations (the analogue of electronic Bloch oscillations in crystals) in a short laser pulse passing through such a superlattice.
