Abstract

Model of Photonic crystals are easily available but the technology enabling to fabricate them with a good quality and at a reasonable price is not yet there. We chose colloidal assembling among the techniques permitting to fabricate photonic crystals. It seems to us that it is the most promising technique. We will discuss how to fabricate good photonic crystals without defects, with high refractive index contrast. We present two innovative fabrication techniques that increase the refractive index contrast of opal-based photonic crystals. To improve the structural regularity of the photonic crystals, the polycristallinity and the stacking defects of the opals were eliminated by modifying the surface potential of the substrates.
