Abstract

Abstract: One-dimensional photonic crystals with structural colors are highly ordered structures formed by alternating assembly of two kinds of materials with high and low refractive indexes. They can effectively modulate the propagation of light within the visible range,and show characteristics of wide material selection,simple structure,good stability,and high application value. This review first introduced the structures,properties and fabrication materials of one-dimension photonic crystals and then summarized the achievements in scientific studies. Focus was on the developments of the sensors with naked-eye detection,including sensors for temperature,relative humidity,external force,solvent,acid,alkalinity or pH,electricity and ion. Meanwhile the mechanism for detection was discussed. The developments of applications in the areas of solar cell,anti-counterfeiting label,patterning and structural colors fibers were also introduced. Finally,the researches on one-dimensional structural colors were summarized,the advantages and limitations were analyzed,and the prospect of the future works were proposed.

Key words: one-dimension photonic crystal, structural color, sensor, optical property, refractive index
