Abstract

Abstract : A new class of photonic materials, two-dimensional titanium-oxide-based photonic crystals, were proposed and fabricated with tunable photonic bandgaps for selective light absorption in broad wavelength regions. Abstract : In this communication, a new class of photonic materials, namely, two-dimensional titanium oxide-based photonic crystals, are proposed and were fabricated with an electrochemical anodization method. The high structural periodicity of the nanostructures, and the feasible variability of the chemical compositions help to realize tunable photonic bandgaps for selective light absorption in broad wavelength regions.
