Questions andcomments

What is structural color?

• Interaction of light with nanoscale structures• Multilayer scales make up the mother-of-pearl of the

nautilus

• There are a few types of structural color:• Diffraction grating (butterflies, beetles)• Photonic crystals (some butterflies)

Questions andcomments

Photonic crystals

• Made up of different dielectric materials periodicallyarranged in space

• Light passes through lattice, but not band gap• Wavelength disallowed by band gap is the wavelength of

the reflected color

Questions andcomments

Conclusion

• Mechanical-tuning methods were used to change the colorof a film consisting of photonic crystals

• Lattice constant in (1,1,1) direction decreases andreflectant peak moves to shorter wavelength

• Could introduce a macroscopic angle-independent system• Possible to optimize

• In future, could replicate chameleon skin with higheraccuracy

• Many applications (displays, sensors, industrial, military,etc.)
