| description | We describe a general and flexible technique for the fabrication of three-dimensional photonic crystals that is particularly well adapted to the production of structures with the sub-micron periodicity required for applications in the visible optical spectrum. Three-dimensional microstructure is generated by using a four-beam laser interference pattern to expose a thick layer of photoresist. Exposed areas are rendered insoluble; unexposed areas are dissolved away leaving a three-dimensional photonic crystal formed of cross-linked polymer with air-filled voids. The polymeric structure may be used as a template for the production of photonic crystals with higher refractive index contrast. Photonic crystals made of polymer and of TiO 2 have been characterized by scanning electron microscopy and by optical diffraction measurements. |
