    Abstract: A method is provided of forming a film of photonic crystal material. A first process is performed upon a material capable of having a photonic crystal structure, this process causing deformation of the material so as to form a film in which incident light received by the material is selectively reflected or transmitted to generate a first optical effect in the film. A second process is performed upon substantially all of the film which applies a shear stress to the film. This causes a change in the material structure so as to generate a second optical effect in the film, different from the first optical effect, in response to incident light. Security films, devices, articles and documents formed using the method are also discussed.

    Abstract: A composite optical material such as a polymer opal is provided having a three dimensional arrangement of core particles distributed in a matrix. The refractive index of the material of the core particles is different to the refractive index of the material of the matrix and the three dimensional arrangement has a periodicity such that, when a surface of the material is illuminated with white light, the composite material exhibits structural colour. The three dimensional periodic arrangement is a reduced symmetry arrangement based on a crystallographic close-packed arrangement but strained therefrom to have reduced symmetry compared to the crystallographic close-packed arrangement. Bragg reflections from planes that would be forbidden in the crystallographic close-packed arrangement are allowed and visible in the reduced symmetry arrangement. This provides a variation in intensity and/or wavelength of structural colour with rotation of the material about an axis perpendicular to the surface when viewed obliquely while the viewing angle remains substantially constant. Also disclosed are methods for the manufacture of such material.
