Résumé:

Photonic crystals display partial or full band gaps that become more pronounced with rising refractive index contrast. However, imperfections in the material cause light scattering and extinction of the interfering propagating waves. Positive as well as negative defect volumes may contribute to this kind of optical perturbation. In this study, 3D woodpile photonic crystals are fabricated and characterized with a pseudo‐bandgap for near‐infrared optical wavelengths. By direct laser writing, defects are introduced in the periodic structure at selected positions. It is shown that defect scattering can be modeled by considering the difference between the disordered and the regular structure. The findings pave the way toward better control and understanding of the role of defects in photonic materials that will be crucial for their usability in potential applications.

Résumé:

In the context of Industry 4.0, inkjet technology has the unrivaled advantage of being digital and versatile by its nature. The recent breakthrough in the understanding of structurally colored materials provides new design platforms for pigments in a variety of applications. An appealing approach is the design of photonic pigments for inkjet printing. However, inkjet technology imposes strict limitations with respect to pigment size. Here we show the deposition and the fabrication of photonic pigments by inkjet technology.

digital printing on non-planar shapes

Lien vers la conférence

Résumé:

The inkjet printing technology plays a major role in the digital printing field. Having the possibility to digitally and selectively print or coat areas offers a great advantage. Usually inkjet was limited to flat substrates but nowadays with modern printheads and advanced waveform tuning, it is possible to extend the jetting distance and print on non-planar shapes. This paper will compare different printheads and the strategies used to increase the jetting distance.
