Surface energy modification was utilized in the fabrication of hollow transmission Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) for the first time. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) was used to modify the surface energy of substrate for the self-assembly of poly(vinylidenefluoride-trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFE)] 70/30 mol% copolymer film on given areas, which is simple and low destructive for the photoelectric device. A strain of 7.12% under a field of 22.3 MV/m was observed from the copolymer film, which led to the FPI with a tunable range of 54 nm at wavelength of 604 nm.
