文摘

We compare numerically two implementations of stretchable photonic crystals embedded in elastic polymers. Our analysis, which classifies the bandgaps according to two simply determined parameters, indicates that such structures exhibit bandgaps that can be readily adjusted by straining the polymer. These properties suggest numerous potential applications such as flexible and tunable waveguiding structures, wavelength switches and resonators.
