Flexible photonic metastructures for tunable coloration
Open accessAbstract
The ability to actively control the perceived color of objects is highly desirable for a variety of applications, such as camouflage, sensing, and displays. We report a completely new flexible, high-contrast metastructure (HCM) whose color can be varied by stretching the membrane. This is accomplished by annihilating the 0th order diffraction while enhancing the -1st order, a new phenomenon made possible with a large index contrast. The color perception of the HCM can thus be changed by varying its period. The structure is fabricated using silicon metastructures embedded in a flexible membrane. We experimentally demonstrate brilliant colors and change the color from green to orange (39 nm wavelength change) with a stretch of 25 nm period change. The same effect can be used for steering a laser beam, with more than 36 resolvable beam spots being demonstrated.

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.
