Three-dimensional dielectric photonic crystals have well-established enhanced light-matter interactions via high Q factors. Their plasmonic counterparts based on arrays of nanoparticles, however, have not been experimentally well explored owing to a lack of available synthetic routes for preparing them. However, such structures should facilitate these interactions based on the small mode volumes associated with plasmonic polarization. Herein we report strong lightplasmon interactions within 3D plasmonic photonic crystals that have lattice constants and nanoparticle diameters that can be independently controlled in the deep subwavelength size regime by using a DNA-programmable assembly technique. The strong coupling within such crystals is probed with backscattering spectra, and the mode splitting (0.10 and 0.24 eV) is defined based on dispersion diagrams. Numerical simulations predict that the crystal photonic modes (Fabry-Perot modes) can be enhanced by coating the crystals with a silver layer, achieving moderate Q factors (∼10 2 ) over the visible and near-infrared spectrum.DNA-programmable assembly | 3D photonic crystals | plasmonics | deep subwavelength scale | strong coupling E nhancing light-matter interactions is essential in photonics, including areas such as nonlinear optics (1), quantum optics (2, 3), and high-Q lasing (4). In general, there are two ways of achieving this in optical cavities: (i) with long cavity lifetimes (high Q factors) and (ii) with strong photonic confinement (small mode volume, V) (2, 3). In particular, 3D dielectric photonic crystals, with symmetry-induced photonic band gaps (Bragg gaps), enhance light-matter interactions via high Q factors (4-6). However, the coupling strength between photons and electronic transitions within such systems is intrinsically weak owing to diffraction-limited photonic confinement (3, 7). Recently, it was suggested that a plasmonic counterpart of photonic crystals can prohibit light propagation and open a photonic band gap by strong coupling between surface plasmons and photonic modes (a polariton gap) if the crystal is in deep subwavelength size regime (8); these crystals have been referred to as polaritonic photonic crystals (PPCs) (9-12). This opens up the exciting possibility of combining plasmonics with 3D photonics in the strong coupling regime and optimizing the photonic crystals as small-mode-volume devices owing to the strong plasmonic mode confinement (13). However, such systems require control over the positioning of the plasmonic elements in the crystal on the nano-or deep subwavelength scale (8), and owing to this synthetic challenge such 3D PPCs have largely remained unexplored in the visible wavelength range.The recent discovery that DNA can be used to program the assembly of high-quality single crystals with well-defined crystal habits consisting of nanoparticles occupying sites in a preconceived lattice (14) opens up possibilities for fine tuning the interaction between light and highly organized collections of particles as a functi...

“…As a preliminary study, we compared, in Figure 1, the M 11 element of Mueller matrix calculated by GOIE for quasi-horizontally oriented hexagonal plates with those calculated by the physical optics approximation method [5] that is essentially the same as GOIE. Except for some fluctuations at tilt angles less than 10 degree, GOIE calculation shows close agreement with the results by Borovoi et Wide Web [5].…”

Backscattering properties of ice crystal models (Voronoi aggregates (VA), hexagonal columns (COL), and six-branched bullet rosettes (BR6)) are calculated by using geometrical-opticsintegral-equation (GOIE) method. Characteristics of depolarization ratio (δ) and lidar ratio (L) of the crystal models are examined. δ (L) values are 0.2~0.3 (4~50), 0.3~0.4 (10~25), and 0.5~0.6 (50~100) for COL, BR6, and VA, respectively, at wavelength λ=0.532µm. It is found that small deformation of COL model could produce significant changes in δ and L.
