胶体光子晶体的平面介电常数缺陷

为引入特殊的光学性质,通常需要在三维光子晶体中人为可控地引入缺陷.通过改变局部结构单元的尺寸或介电常数,相应地引入给体或受体掺杂,带来不同的缺陷态.以前文献报道的向胶体光子晶体中引入缺陷,常会因为同时引入尺寸和介电常数掺杂,给掺杂性质的界定带来困难.本文中,我们结合对流自组装法和L-B膜法,在实心二氧化硅微球组成的三维光子晶体内引入尺寸相同的二氧化硅空心球(与实心球相比具有不同折光率)组成的单层平面缺陷,或者在空心球晶体内引入实心球缺陷层,构成实心-空心-实心或空心-实心-空心的三明治结构,在不破坏整体晶格的同时,在三维胶体光子晶体中引入单一的平面介电常数缺陷.     

High-speed fabrication of patterned colloidal photonic structures in centrifugal microfluidic chips

In this paper, we report a rapid and facile method for fabricating colloidal photonic crystals inside microchannels of radially symmetric microfluidic chips which were made using soft-lithography. As the suspension of monodisperse silica or polystyrene latex spheres was driven to flow through the channels under the action of centrifugal force, the colloidal spheres were quickly assembled into face centered cubic arrangement which had a few photonic stop bands. The soft-microfluidic channels and cells confined the colloidal crystals into designed patterns. The optical reflectance was modulated by the refractive-index mismatch between the colloidal particles and the solvent in the interstices between the particles. Therefore, the present microfluidic chips with built-in colloidal photonic crystals can be used as in-situ optofluidic microsensors for high throughput screening or light filters in integrated adaptive optical devices.

Fabrication and characterization of core-shell photonic crystals via a dipping process

High-quality polystyrene (PS) colloidal photonic crystals in large area were fabricated in 24 h via a capillary-enhanced process. Then, the photonic crystals with core-shell structure were obtained by incorporating silica nanoparticles into the interstitial space of opal template via a dipping process. The filling ratio (V_silica) of interstitial space could be manipulated by dipping colloidal crystals into suspensions with different concentrations of silica nanoparticles, which in turn renders the obtained core-shell photonic crystals. The absorptive peak of opal without dipping process is at 445 nm as measured by UV–vis spectrometry. The filling ratios of 0.130, 0.167 and 0.253 can be calculated according to the modified Bragg's Law, which corresponds to the absorptive peaks for core-shell opals at 453, 463 and 469 nm obtained from suspensions with silica nanoparticles of 0.017, 0.122, and 0.244 wt%, respectively. Therefore, by using this dipping process, the characteristic absorption wavelength for photonic crystal will be varied easily, efficiently and cost effectively than that by traditional methods for constructing opal from monodispersed colloids of different diameters.     

胶体晶体自组装排列进展

Dry etching of colloidal crystal films

Two types of non-close-packed colloidal crystal films were prepared by etching the films made of polystyrene nanospheres using a hyperthermal neutral beam of oxygen gas. Etching without sintering above glass transition temperature of the polymer particles resulted in the non-close-packed structure of the nanospheres, in which polystyrene nanospheres in different lattice planes touched each other due to the reduction in the size of the nanospheres that occurred during the etching process. In contrast, a different non-close-packed structure with inter-connecting networks between etched nanospheres was generated by annealing of the colloidal crystal and a subsequent etching process. The photonic bandgap could be tuned during this dry etching of colloidal photonic crystals. This connected open structure could be used as a template for a silica inverse opal by chemical vapor deposition. An alternative dry etching process, reactive ion etching, mainly affected the morphology of particles near the top surface, and only a slight change in the stop band position of the colloidal crystal film was observed.     

Layer transfer approach to opaline hetero photonic crystals

By taking advantage of the hydrophobicity of dry polystyrene colloidal crystal (opal) films and the large surface tension of water, a convectively self-assembled polystyrene opal film on a hydrophilic glass substrate can be peeled off from the substrate and floated on the water surface. A layer transfer technique was developed to sequentially stack floating opal films of different sphere sizes, resulting in opaline hetero photonic crystals. The feasibility of this technique to planar defect engineering in a self-assembled colloidal photonic crystal was also demonstrated. Both structural observation and optical characterization confirmed the crystalline integrity of the resultant opaline heterostructures.

FABRICATION OF PHOTONIC CRYSTAL WITH SUPERLATTICES

A novel technique was used to fabricate three-dimensional photonic crystals with superlattices. The super structure was fabricated by assembling monodispersed microspheres in the grooves of the scales of morpho butterfly, which makes the photonic crystal being composed of two kinds of different photonic structures (natural groove structure of butterfly wing and artificial microspherical colloids arrangement). The superstructural photonic crystal exhibits some unique optical properties different from both the butterfly wing and the colloidal crystal. The approach exhibited here provides a new way for fabricate photonic crystals with superlattices.

Vapor detection enabled by self-assembled colloidal photonic crystals

Here we report the sensitive and reversible detection of vapors by using self-assembled colloidal photonic crystals. The condensation of various vapors in the interstitials of silica colloidal photonic crystals leads to red-shift and amplitude reduction of optical stop bands. A linear relationship between wavelength shift and vapor partial pressure has been observed for a variety of vapors including ethanol, water, and toluene. Importantly, the sensitivity of colloidal photonic crystal-based vapor detectors can be improved by nearly two orders of magnitude by using a new full-peak analysis technique that takes advantage of the manifest amplitude reduction of optical stop bands during vapor condensation. Optical simulation based on a scalar-wave approximation model shows that the predicted optical responses during vapor condensation in colloidal photonic crystals agree well with experimental results. The condensation of vapors between submicrometer-scale microspheres, a topic that has received little examination, has also been investigated by both experiments and theoretical calculations. Predictions based on a modified Kelvin equation match with the experiments for a wide range of vapor partial pressures.
