Tunable structural colors
Tunable structural colors in nanocavities
Using nanocavity supporting Fabry-Perot structure. We demonstrated theoretically and experimentally an efficient and angle insensitive structural colors with tunable wavelength up to ~220 nm. The RGB coverage gamut was up to 80%.
Aperiodic Bragg reflectors for tunable high-purity structural color
We reveal high-purity color generation using an ultralow-loss phase change material (Sb2S3)-based tunable aperiodic distributed Bragg reflector (A-DBR). By strategically adjusting the periodicity of the adjacent layers of A-DBRs, we realize a narrow photonic bandgap with high reflectivity to generate high-purity orange and yellow colors. In particular, we demonstrate an A-DBR with a large photonic bandgap tunability by changing the structural phase of Sb2S3 layers from amorphous to crystalline. Moreover, we experimentally tailor multistate tunable colors through external optical stimuli.
