3D polymer-based woodpile structure for application in photonics

The paper brings new concept and useful technique, how to modify optical properties of different optical and optoelectronical devices by application of three dimensional (3D) photonic crystal structures made of polymer in the surface of photonic devices. This paper is focused on the design, fabrication and characterization of 3D woodpile structures based on IP-Dip polymer for application on photonic devices. The woodpile structures with period 500 nm was designed, simulated and fabricated for direct application on photonic devices by 3D laser lithography. The proposed photonic band gap was characterized from transmission measurement.
