Comparative Analysis Between Experimental Characterization Results and Numerical FDTD Modeling of Self-Assembled Photonic Crystals

Progress In Electromagnetics Research B, Vol. 23, 329-342, 2010
Abstract
This paper presents a comparative analysis between the experimental characterization and the numerical simulation results for a three-dimensional FCC photonic crystal (PhC) based on a self-assembly synthesis of monodispersive latex spheres. Specifically, experimental optical characterization, by means of reflectance measurements under variable angles over the lattice plane family [1,1,1], are compared to theoretical calculations based on the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method, in order to investigate the correlation between theoretical predictions and experimental data. The goal is to highlight the influence of crystal defects on the achieved performance.
