Abstract

A photonic crystal can be used for controlling light propagation by defining a photonic stop band that is decided by both the periodic structure and material. In this study, the photonic structure in butterfly wing was inversely replicated with germanium dioxide through a facile liquid phase deposition process. Precise replicas of both micro-tile array and dispersed micro-cubes were produced by adjusting the depositing conditions. This work provides the possibility that the abundant photonic crystals in nature can be further enriched by combining the merits of both artificial tailoring and constituents.
