The relationship between structural parameters and circular Bragg phenomenon (CBP) is investigated. Results demonstrate that, the central wavelength of Bragg regime red-shifts with the increasing pitch of helix, and peak value of selective transmittance will increase after adding more turns to the helix. After annealing, the central wavelength blue-shifts and the peak value rises. Tuning CBP by modulating the deposition parameters and annealing can optimize the performance of circularly polarized devices fabricated from CSTFs.展开更多
