  • Abstract
    Using a new technique for single-domain shear-ordering of elastomeric photonic crystals we demonstrate novel opto-elastic properties. Tensile stress experiments demonstrate coupled mechanical and optical anisotropy, producing striking colour tuning depending on the stretch direction.
