Abstract
Self assembly is a well established approach to fabricate photonic structures able to manipulate light propagation and emission at the nanoscale [1]. Beyond its use as a means to fabricate photonic crystals recent reports have shown how self assembly techniques can be used to fabricate hybrid photonic-plasmonic crystals [2, 3] which allow strong modification of the spontaneous emission of internal sources [2]. Further, the sensitivity of their optical response to their environment has been proposed as a means to use this kind of systems of optical sensors [3], and means to control their optical properties by modifying the dielectric components have been demonstrated [4].
