Photonic technologies are nowadays dominated by highly performing inorganic structures that are commonly fabricated via lithography or epitaxial growths. Unfortunately, the fabrication of these systems is costly, time consuming, and does not allow for the growth of large photonic structures. All-polymer photonic crystals could overcome this limitation thanks to easy solubility and melt processing. On the other hand, macromolecules often do not offer a dielectric contrast large enough to approach the performances of their inorganic counterparts. In this work, we demonstrate a new approach to achieve high dielectric contrast distributed Bragg reflectors with a photonic band gap that is tunable in a very broad spectral region. A highly transparent medium was developed through a blend of a commercial polymer with a high refractive index inverse vulcanized polymer that is rich in sulfur, where the large polarizability of the S–S bond provides refractive index values that are unconceivable with common non-conjugated polymers. This approach paves the way to the recycling of sulfur byproducts for new high added-value nano-structures.

ABSTRACTConventional photonic crystals exhibit low-lying full band gaps for the dielectric contrast smaller than 15. As the dielectric contrast increases, the band gap patterns change characteristics and exhibit interesting properties. In particular, the dispersion curves near the band gap region become concentrated to the middle band frequencies and exhibit an overall red shift in frequency. For a dielectric column photonic crystal made of a hexagonal lattice of circular cylinders, the maximum full band gap was found at the dielectric contrast as high as 27.5, which is attainable by using ceramics materials. The gap opens at high-lying bands, has simultaneous TM and TE band edges, and exhibit flattened dispersion curves near the band edges.
