Infrared Wavelengths

Over a decade ago, theorists predicted that photonic crystals active at visible and near-infrared wavelengths would possess a variety of exciting optical properties. Only in the last several years, however, have experimentalists begun to build materials that realize this potential in the laboratory. This lag between experiment and theory is primarily due to the to the challenges associated with fabricating these unique materials. As the term “crystal” suggests, these samples must consist of highly perfect ordered arrays of solids. However, unlike conventional crystals, which exhibit order on the angstrom length scale, photonic crystals must have order on the submicrometer length scale. In addition, many of the most valuable properties of photonic crystals are only realized when samples possess a “full” photonic bandgap. For such systems, large dielectric contrasts and particular crystal symmetries create a range of frequencies over which light cannot propagate. Realizing the nanoscopic architectures required to form such systems is a challenge for experimentalists. As a result, fabrication schemes that rely on lithographic techniques or spontaneous assembly have been a focus in the development of the field.

In order to study the surfactant-free emulsion copolymerization of benzyl methacrylate (BMA) with sodium 1-allyloxy-2-hydroxypropane sulfonate (COPS-I) and the resulting optical properties, a series of experiments was carried out at various reaction conditions such as the changes of BMA concentration, COPS-I concentration, BMA concentration under a fixed COPS-I amount, initiator and divinyl benzene (DVB) concentration. All the latices showed highly monodispersed spherical particles in the size range of 144∼435 nm and the respective shiny structural colors from their colloidal photonic crystals. It is found that the changes in such polymerization factors greatly affect the number of particles and particle diameter, polymerization rate, molecular weight, zeta-potential, and refractive indices. The increase of number of particles led to the increased rate of polymerization and zeta-potential of the latices, on the other hand, to the decreased molecular weight. Refractive indices and the reflectivity increased with COPS-I concentration, on the other hand, and decreased with DVB concentration. Especially, refractive indices of the resulting poly[BMA-co-(COPS-I)] colloidal photonic crystals showed much higher values of 1.65∼2.21 than that of polystyrene, due to the formation of core–shell shaped morphology. Monodisperse and high refractive index of poly[BMA-co-(COPS-I)] particles prepared in this work could be used for the study in photonic crystals and electrophoretic display.

We introduce artificial periodic defects with required size in colloidal photonic crystals by a simple and inexpensive photolithography. The morphology of colloidal photonic crystals with defects is observed by field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM) and optical properties by UV-VIS spectra. We find that the periodic photoresist strips will cause a blue shift and the shift value depends on the the size of periodic photoresist strips.

Abstract This paper describes how two-photon polymerization was used to generate biomimetic nanostructures with angle-insensitive coloration inspired by the blue butterflies of Morpho. Less angle dependence was achieved by engineering the structures with a certain degree of disorder, which delimited them from classical photonic crystals. Variations in the processing parameters enabled the color hue to be controlled. In this context, blue, green, yellow, and brown structures were demonstrated. Reflection spectra of the structures were simulated and studied experimentally in a broad range of incident angles. Additionally, a molding technique was performed as a potential scale-up strategy. The application of such biomimetic structures is discussed.
