摘要
Gold nanoparticles have been dissolved in a cholesteric liquid crystal and then infiltrated in a micro-periodic polymeric structure. This has been realized by combining a holographic step and a microfluidic etching process. The spectral behavior of the nano-composite soft-structure has been investigated in the UV-Vis range for two different polarization directions of an impinging probe light and in presence of external perturbations (electric field, temperature variation). Obtained results show a highly tunable plasmonic response of the material.
