High-quality photonic crystals (PCs) based on the ordered pore arrays anodic alumina are fabricated by the anodic oxidation method using the newly-designed periodic oxidation voltage wave. The obtained PCs own uniform narrow photonic band gaps (PBGs), steep photonic band edges, zero transmittances inside of the PBGs and high transmittances outside of the PBGs. Importantly, the high-quality PBGs of the anodic alumina PCs are tunable and controllable in the range from 350 nm to 1330 nm by modifying the anodizing voltage waveform. The benefit of newly-designed periodic oxidation voltage wave is to improve the optical properties of anodic alumina PCs. (C) 2011 Elsevier By. All rights reserved.
