Holographically Fabricated Photonic Crystals with Large Reflectance

Abstract

We report reflection and transmission spectra from three-dimensional polymer photonic crystals fabricated by holographic lithography. The measured peak reflectance matches that predicted by both a finite-difference time-domain method a simple transfer matrix theory and is 70%, significantly higher than previous reports of 30% reflectance.
