(a) SEM image (bird’s eye view) of a silicon structure with modulated pores including a planar defect layer without modulation. (b) Transmission spectra of this structure if the sample is filled with (—) air, (- - -) 5CB in its nematic phase, and ( ) 5CB in its isotropic liquid state, respectively. For details, see [38].
