Abstract

We have developed a method to fabricate photonic crystals using an interference pattern of laser beams. Photopolymerizable resin is used for solidifying a lattice. Interference of two beams forms a one-dimensional grid and a two-dimensional lattice, and that of three beams forms a three-dimensional hexagonal lattice. The experimental setup and the process of fabrication are described. The use of the structure to photonic crystal is also discussed.
