Abstract

One dimensional photonic crystal (1D-PhC) in form of 19 layered stack was prepared through layer-by-layer deposition of spin coated Poly (methyl methacrylate) (n = 1.49 at 1.55 μm) and vacuum deposited As2S3 (n = 2.27 at 1.55 μm) as low and high refractive index materials, respectively. The optical properties of the single layers and the multilayered stack are studied at normal and oblique incidence of linearly polarized light. The possibility of using the 1D-PhC as an omnidirectional reflector was exploited theoretically and confirmed experimentally. Besides, the prospect of using the studied structure for chemical sensing with optical read-out is demonstrated.
