Abstract

This study presents a novel strategy for the modulation of the stop band of a polymer photonic crystal by utilizing the pattern on the surface of a written DVD. Thus, fluorescent dye doped polymer colloids (305 nm) capable to self-assemble have been obtained through soap-free emulsion polymerization and deposited on the surface of the DVD, both the top and bottom. The resulting films were investigated by SEM, UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. Depending on the design of the surface, the modification of the band gap, as well as the emission properties of the photonic crystals were observed.

Keywords: photonic crystal; band gap; DVD; SEM; fluorescence
