Abstract
The design of a tantalum oxide inverse opal-based photonic crystal with optical reflectance in the UV range is reported. A silica opal was infiltrated by tantalum(V) ethoxide to deposit Ta2O5 using a metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) process. The obtained inverse opal showed a strong reflection in the UV range due to the small lattice parameter of the crystal and the high refractive index of Ta2O5.
