Abstract
We have measured visible to near-UV reflection spectra of opal photonic crystals infiltrated with ferroelectrics: barium titanate, sodium nitrite, potassium iodate, and triglycine sulfate. An experimental procedure has been developed for the infiltration of various ferroelectrics into opal pores through laser ablation and laser implantation. Using a fiber-optic probe, we were able to analyze surface reflection spectra of photonic crystals with a 0.2-mm resolution. A deuterium lamp was used as a broadband UV source, which allowed us to observe both the first and second [111] photonic band gaps in the reflection spectrum of opal crystals.
