Abstract
We demonstrated a simple way to create dynamic photonic crystals with different lattice symmetry by interference of three non-coplanar laser beams in colloidal solution of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots. Two-dimensional dynamic photonic crystal was formed due to the periodical changing of refraction and/or absorption of resonantly excited excitons in CdSe/ZnS quantum dots. The formation of dynamic photonic crystal was confirmed by the observed diffraction of the beams that have excited photonic crystal at the angles equal to that calculated for the corresponding two-dimensional lattice (self-diffraction regime).
