TLDR
In this paper, a simple single refracting prism was used to split and recombine a single incoming laser beam to form multiple-beam interference pattern simultaneously, leading to a much more simple optical setup than previously reported laser holographic lithography techniques.Abstract:
We demonstrate an approach for easy fabrication of two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal and three-dimensional (3D) face-centered-cubic (fcc)-type photonic crystal (PhC) microstructures in a photosensitive polymer by applying a simple single refracting prism. This prism enables the splitting and recombining of a single incoming laser beam to form multiple-beam interference pattern simultaneously. Thus, antivibration equipment and complicated optical alignment system are not required, leading to a much more simple optical setup than previously reported laser holographic lithography techniques. Large-scale (over 1cm2) 2D hexagonal and 3D fcc-type PhCs have been produced. Reflection/transmission measurements performed on the fabricated 3D fcc-type PhC structures agree well with the corresponding band structure calculation.read more

TL;DR: In this article, Diphenylacetylene monomers functionalized with vinyl and ester groups (1 and 2) were synthesized, and they were polymerized by WCl6−Ph4Sn into their corresponding polymers (P1 and P2) with the (meth)acrylic functionality remained intact, as verified by the structural analysis of the polymers using spectroscopic methods.

Inhibited Spontaneous Emission in Solid-State Physics and Electronics
TL;DR: If a three-dimensionally periodic dielectric structure has an electromagnetic band gap which overlaps the electronic band edge, then spontaneous emission can be rigorously forbidden.

TL;DR: This work describes a technique—three-dimensional holographic lithography—that is well suited to the production of three-dimensional structures with sub-micrometre periodicity, and has made microperiodic polymeric structures, and used these as templates to create complementary structures with higher refractive-index contrast.
