Abstract: The authors present a technique that allows to modify the local characteristics of two-dimensional photonic crystals by controlled microinfiltration of liquids. They demonstrate experimentally that by addressing and infiltrating each pore with a simple liquid, e.g., water, it is possible to write pixel by pixel optical devices of any geometry and shape. Calculations confirm that the obtained structures indeed constitute the desired resonators and waveguide structures. © 2006 American Institute of Physics.
