Abstract

A transparent conductor has been developed based on 1D metal/dielectric photonic band gap structures. Laminated metal/dielectric filters containing 100 nm of silver have been fabricated with > 50% transmittance. Applications for transparent, conducting films include antennas embedded in windshields, electrodes on flat panel displays, electromagnetic shielding, and solar window panes.
