Photochemical On–Off Switching of One-Dimensional Photonic Crystals Consisting of Azo-Functionalized Liquid Crystal Polymer and Polyvinyl Alcohol

One-dimensional (1D) photonic crystals (PCs) are prepared from multi-bilayered films stacked with alternating azo-functionalized liquid crystal polymer (PAz) films and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films. Reflection with a wavelength that depends on the thickness of the films is observed, and the reflecti...
