Abstract

Structure having both ordered and disordered components, integrated into novel photonic structure have been presented. Self-supporting photonic structure is designed, as a combination of ordered multilayer grating and randomly distributed nanopillars. It is created through a combination of holographic method and non-solvent induced phase separation in biopolymer - pullulan, a polysaccharide-based material. Interplay between Bragg regularity and random scattering results in the 35% wide photonic band-gap and high reflectivity of up to 85%.
