To realize a variety of structural color adjustments via lossy-dielectric-based Fabry-Perot cavity structure.

ABSTRACT: Structural colors with tunable properties have extensive applications in surface decoration, arts, absorbers, and optical filters. Planar structures have more advantages over other forms studied to date due to their easy manufacturability. Metal-insulator-metal-based structures are one of the known methods to fabricate structural colors where colors can be tuned mainly by the thickness of the intermediate lossless insulator layer. However, generating colors by MIM structure requires a thin metallic layer on top, and the top metals' abrasiveness and/or oxidation may degrade the colors quickly. Thus, we propose a lossy dielectric layer to replace the top metallic layer as a solution to ensure the structure's durability by preventing scratches and oxidation. Herein, CrON/Si₃N₄
