Abstract

Three-dimensional polystyrene/air photonic crystal structure with different particle diameters: 200, 270 and 340 nm was achieved. Strong photonic band gap effect reflected with transmission minimum down to −16 dB was observed. The central wavelengths of the valleys of spectra were well fitted with theoretical calculation. The augmentation of band gap effect versus particle diameter was attributed to an improved self-assembling of particles. An analysis of transmission spectra is also presented. The agreement between the results of experiment and numerical analysis is good.
