520 |a The ability to control the propagation direction of light has long been a scientific goal. However, the fabrication of large-scale optical angular-range selective films is still a challenge. This paper presents a polymer-enabled large-scale fabrication method for broadband angular-range selective films that perform over the entire visible spectrum. Our approach involves stacking together multiple one-dimensional photonic crystals with various engineered periodicities to enlarge the bandgap across a wide spectral range based on theoretical predictions. Experimental results demonstrate that our method can achieve broadband transparency at a range of incident angles centered around normal incidence and reflectivity at larger viewing angles, doing so at large scale and low cost.
