We demonstrate that embedding silicon nanowires into polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) presents a means for adding color, i.e., provides filtering at visible and near-infrared wavelengths. Silicon nanowires are etched from a silicon wafer and transferred to a PDMS film. Each measured transmission spectr ... [Appl. Phys. Lett. 101, 193107 (2012)] published Fri Nov 09, 2012.
