Questions andcomments
What is structural color?
• Interaction of light with nanoscale structures• Multilayer scales make up the mother-of-pearl of the
nautilus
• There are a few types of structural color:• Diffraction grating (butterflies, beetles)• Photonic crystals (some butterflies)

Questions andcomments
Photonic crystals
• Made up of different dielectric materials periodicallyarranged in space
• Light passes through lattice, but not band gap• Wavelength disallowed by band gap is the wavelength of
the reflected color

Conclusion
• Mechanical-tuning methods were used to change the colorof a film consisting of photonic crystals
• Lattice constant in (1,1,1) direction decreases andreflectant peak moves to shorter wavelength
• Could introduce a macroscopic angle-independent system• Possible to optimize
• In future, could replicate chameleon skin with higheraccuracy
• Many applications (displays, sensors, industrial, military,etc.)
