Abstract:Abstract-This paper uses the plane-wave expansion and finite-difference time-domain methods to study tunable 3D photonic crystals for use in display applications. The paper calculates particle diameter and refractive index for operation across the visible spectrum and estimates the reflectivity achievable for one to five layers of particles. The effects of disorder in particle position and diameter are then studied and the results show the system to be robust against such effects. Finally, the paper discusses … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
