Photonic crystals have very interesting features in their angle-resolved spectral response,
originating from the periodic arrangement of dielectric constant and the consequent …

We show theoretically that photonic crystals consisting of colloidal spheres exhibit
unidirectional wave propagation and one-way frequency band gaps without breaking time …

Photonic crystals (PhCs) offer the unprecedented capability to manipulate light and material
interaction. This chapter reviews the recent developments of sol–gel-based PhCs and their …

In this study, we proposed a facile one-step thermal self-assemble method for depositing a
photonic crystal heterostructure (PCH) on a flexible polymer substrate which can filter a …

The motivation for research on photonic nanostructures is twofold. One is to attempt the
miniaturization of standard optical devices and the other is to explore novel functionalities …

In this thesis, fabrication method and structural analysis of titania and alumina/titania
photonic structures were presented. A thorough optical analysis was performed at all steps …
