We report the design, fabrication and characterization of a silk inverse opal with engineered photonic bandgap. The realization of a controlled defect in the structure demonstrates another step along the way to the realization of high-performance biocompatible and implantable optical components with programmable spectral responses that could be integrated with living material and suited for work in the biological therapeutic window.

Abstract

We report the design, fabrication and characterization of a silk inverse opal with engineered photonic bandgap. The realization of a controlled defect in the structure demonstrates another step along the way to the realization of high-performance biocompatible and implantable optical components with programmable spectral responses that could be integrated with living material and suited for work in the biological therapeutic window.
