Light sources inside photonic crystals
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have measured the optical fluorescence spectra of dye incorporated in high-quality photonic crystals made from colloids. The spectra reveal a stopgap that is due to Bragg reflection with strikingly reduced attenuation compared with plane-wave transmission. The modified attenuation is independent of the position of the sources in the sample and is brought about by diffuse scattering from defects near the surface. In the presence of a photonic bandgap, the diffuse component would disappear. Thus we have found a simple, unambiguous probe for the presence of photonic bandgaps. © 1999 Optical Society of America [S0740-3224(99)02909-4] OCIS codes: 260.2510, 350.2460.

متن کاملPhotonic crystals: making a cage for light
Photonic crystals are optical materials with an intricate three-dimensional structure that manipulates light in unusual ways thanks to multiple Bragg diffraction. The structure has the length scale of the order of the wavelength of light. In future, such crystals could steer light beams around tiny optical chips or be the heart of a new breed of efficient light emitters. An example of a photoni...
