Research Abstract |
Colloidal crystals were formed using aqueous dispersion of monodispersed colloidal spheres doped with fluorescence dyes. The Bragg reflection wavelengths of the crystals were matched with the fluorescent band of the dyes. Dye laser radiation from the crystals was observed by the excitation of a Nd:YAG laser pulse. Mixed type colloidal crystals were designed to attainthe spatial coherency and wavelength tuning of the laser radiation. The sphere ratio of the mixed type crystals changed systematically due to the segregation effects of drying dissipative structure of the colloidal systems.
