Realization of optical periodic quasicrystals using holographic lithography

摘要

We have fabricated three-dimensional periodic quasicrystals exhibiting quasiperiodicity of the Penrose structure in the x-y plane and periodic along the z axis using ten-beam visible light holographic lithography. The quasicrystals show photonic band gaps in the visible range. The band gaps are found to follow a simple relation as a function of periodicity and polymeric volume fraction, in accord with the Bragg's diffraction relation.
