Large-scale high purity and brightness structural color generation in layered thin film structures via coupled cavity resonance by Wang Danyan, Ji Chengang, Li Moxin, Xing Zhenyu, Gao Hao, Li Xiaochan, Zhou Huixian, Hu Yuhui, Lin Zhelin, Zhang Cheng

“…Here, we introduce a novel approach to realizing large-scale structural colors in layered thin film structures that are characterized by both high brightness and purity. Unlike conventional designs relying on single Fabry–Pérot cavity resonance, our method leverages coupled resonance between adjacent cavities to achieve sharp and intense transmission peaks with significantly suppressed sideband intensity. …”
