Thickness Dependence of the Optical Properties of Ordered Silica-Air and Air-Polymer Photonic Crystals

Abstract

We report observations of the optical stop band of periodic planar arrays of submicron silica spheres, and of macroporous polymers grown from these silica templates. The stop-band width and peak attenuation depend on the number of layers and on the dielectric contrast between the spheres and the interstitial regions, both of which are experimentally controlled. The results are compared to the predictions of the scalar wave approximation. This is the first systematic study of the thickness dependence of the stop band in colloidal photonic band gap structures.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
