Аннотация:Colloidal photonic crystals (CPCs) are universal ordered structures widely used in chemistry, physics, materials science, nanotechnology, and other fields of science and technology. In these materials, periodic alternation of elements with different refractive indices leads to the appearance of the so-called photonic bandgap and, as a consequence, to structural coloration. One-dimensional CPCs, also known as distributed Bragg reflectors or Bragg stacks, are used as cavities for distributed feedback lasers, smart dielectric layers, light-emitting transistors, induced tunable filters, etc. This review is concerned with recent advances in the 2D and 3D adaptive design of CPCs. In particular, methods are discussed for changing the morphology and thus the optical properties of CPCs, as well as the most widely used technologies for fabrication of CPCs. In addition, certain approaches used to achieve active tuning of the photonic bandgap are described.
