Abstract：It’s described that the Pb(Zr0.52 Ti0.48)O3 (PZT) nanopore arrays were fabricated utilizing a solgel process based on the anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template. The structure, morphology and poresize distribution of the samples were characterized by SEM, XRD and EDS. The results showed that the obtained PZT photonic crystals (PCs) of crystalline tetragonal phase with nanopore arrays not only have uniform pore size and ordered arrange, but also exhibit good optical transmittance properties. The simple, low cost, and feasible fabrication route provides a convenient and reproducible method in complex ferroelectric nanopore arrays systems.
