研究目的
To improve the accuracy of determining the characteristics of photonic crystals by combining atomic force microscopy, optical spectrophotometry, and diffraction method.
研究成果
The developed combined method significantly increases the accuracy of determining the average particle size, effective refractive index, and lattice period of photonic crystals. This approach is beneficial for the characterization of photonic crystals for various applications.
研究不足
The laser diffraction method is not applicable when the lattice period is less than the wavelength of light used. The accuracy of measurements can be affected by structural defects in the photonic crystals.
