Structural characterization of thin film photonic crystals

چکیده
We quantitatively analyze the structure of thin film inverse-opal photonic crystals composed of ordered arrays of air pores in a background of titania. Ordering of the sphere template and introduction of the titania background were performed simultaneously in the thin film photonic crystals. Nondestructive optical measurements of backfilling with high refractive index liquids, angle-resolved reflectivity, and optical spectroscopy were combined with band-structure calculations. The analysis reveals a thin film photonic crystal structure with a very high filling fraction (92–94 %) of air and a substantial compression along the c axis (∼22–25%).

Fabrication and Characterization of 3D Square Spiral Photonic Crystals
Photonic crystals have demonstrated potential for application in many fields and devices. We demonstrate practical fabrication of three-dimensional photonic crystals using the glancing angle deposition thin film fabrication technique. Optical characterization provides strong evidence for the existence of a complete photonic band gap in three dimensions, centered at 1.6 m. We also investigate th...
متن کاملLight trapping and absorption optimization in certain thin-film photonic crystal architectures
We demonstrate two orders of magnitude enhancement of light absorption in certain thin-film photonic crystal PC architectures due to strong resonances arising from parallel interface refraction PIR . This anomalous type of refraction is acutely negative and usually out of the plane of incidence. Over a wide range of frequencies, light impinging on idealized two-dimensional 2D thin-film photonic...

متن کاملSpontaneous Emission Extraction and Purcell Enhancement from Thin-Film 2-D Photonic Crystals
Electromagnetic band structure can produce either an enhancement or a suppression of spontaneous emission from two-dimensional (2-D) photonic crystal thin films. We believe that such effects might be important for light emitting diodes. Our experiments were based on thin-film InGaAs/InP 2-D photonic crystals at ambient temperature, but the concepts would apply equally to InGaN thin films, for e...
