Abstract Monitoring the variations in pressure, distribution, and magnitude of emitted gases at ground surface is very important different applications. Because parity-time symmetric mechanism, a novel one-dimensional photonic crystal as pressure sensor proposed. The transmittance spectra are calculated analyzed using transfer matrix method. property amplifies defect mode gives an additional hand to enhance magnification performance sensor. optimum conditions normal angle incidence, layer thickness 1400 nm, porosity porous silicon 80%, macroscopic Lorentz oscillation intensity 5 × 10 -4 . results show that position amplitude sensitivities 4.9 nm GPa −1 1844%/GPa. That means such sensors, by altering desired value magnified sensitivity can be achieved required according optical communication devices. Therefore, proposed device performs better with high precision accuracy. Consequently, it much more helpful optoelectronic

An easy approach to pattern angular-independent, multicolor reflective coatings based on cholesteric liquid-crystalline (CLC) particles is presented. CLC are fabricated by emulsification, which a scalable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly synthesis process. The photonic can be easily dispersed in binder produce coatings. Furthermore, simple strategy remove the cross-communication between has been developed. By incorporating reactive blue/green absorbing dye into network structure of absorbed dye, leading well-defined structural colors. Moreover, we demonstrate possibility producing patterned images controlled swelling binder.
