18. Numerical simulations using finite element method reproduce the measured transmission dispersion and its dependence on structural parameters (see Supporting Information, S2).
19. 5 base layer with a refractive index of 2, sufficient to displace the Au/substrate band below the Au/LC band. This is further confirmed by numerical simulations (S2) and when analyzing the response of these bands to an applied field (Figure 2c), as only the Au/LC band is sensitive to the reorientation of the LC in the cell.
