Abstract
We fabricated a one-dimensional photonic crystal structure with a defect layer of a poly(vinyl alcohol) thin film doped with 2-aminopurine (2AP). The defect induced a transmission peak in the photonic band gap at 610 nm, to which ultrashort laser pulses were tuned. We observed enhanced two-photon fluorescence emission from 2AP in the photonic crystal structure with a factor of 120. The enhancement was attributed to the high local field of light generated by a photonic state localized at the defect layer. Furthermore, under the enhanced light intensity, we carried out photobleaching experiments, which gave useful information on the photochemistry of 2AP.
