Abstract

Infiltration of opal with nonlinear optical materials is shown to markedly raise its emission intensity in the visible range under pulsed laser excitation. Evidence is presented for three-photon parametric scattering in both uninfiltrated and infiltrated globular photonic crystals, with excitation of “slow” photons in the visible range. Our results indicate that synthetic opal crystals can be used as photon traps for studying the emission spectra of organic and inorganic materials infiltrated in opal pores.
