The reflective surface was setup at non-Brewster angles to reflect both s- and p-polarized beams for the interference. The wide selection of reflective surface materials and interference angles allow control of the ratio of s- and p-polarizations, and intensity ratio of side-beam to central beam for interference lithography. Photonic bandgap simulations have also indicated that both s and p-polarized waves are sometimes needed in the reflected side beams for maximum photonic bandgap size and certain filling fractions of dielectric inside the photonic crystals. The flexibility of single ROE and single exposure based holographic fabrication of 3D structures was demonstrated with reflective surfaces of ROEs at non-Brewster angles, highlighting the capability of the ROE technique of producing umbrella configurations of side beams with arbitrary angles and polarizations and paving the way for the rapid throughput of various photonic crystal templates.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/mi7070128","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,21]],"date-time":"2016-07-21T09:48:05Z","timestamp":1469094485000},"page":"128","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Flexible Holographic Fabrication of 3D Photonic Crystal Templates with Polarization Control through a 3D Printed Reflective Optical Element"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"David","family":"Lowell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics and Center for Advanced Research and Technology, University of North Texas, Denton, TX 76203, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David","family":"George","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics and Center for Advanced Research and Technology, University of North Texas, Denton, TX 76203, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jeffrey","family":"Lutkenhaus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics and Center for Advanced Research and Technology, University of North Texas, Denton, TX 76203, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chris","family":"Tian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics and Center for Advanced Research and Technology, University of North Texas, Denton, TX 76203, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Murthada","family":"Adewole","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics and Center for Advanced Research and Technology, University of North Texas, Denton, TX 76203, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9065-0274","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Usha","family":"Philipose","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics and Center for Advanced Research and Technology, University of North Texas, Denton, TX 76203, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hualiang","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ECE Department, University of Massachusetts Lowell, Lowell, MA 01854, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5691-589X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuankun","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics and Center for Advanced Research and Technology, University of North Texas, Denton, TX 76203, USA"},{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, University of North Texas, Denton, TX 76203, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"91","DOI":"10.1038\/nphoton.2010.286","article-title":"Lasing oscillation in a three-dimensional photonic crystal nanocavity with a complete bandgap","volume":"5","author":"Tandaechanurat","year":"2011","journal-title":"Nat.
