Abstract

We inspected photonic bandgap (stop-zone) in a synthetic opal (photonic crystal) immersed with different liquids. Dependences of the bandgap depth and spectral position on the immersed liquid refractive index were measured in the case of normal light incidence to the (111) face. An explanation of the observed spectral displacement of the bandgap is given on the basis of interaction between forward-propagating wave affected by Bragg diffraction and phase-shifted back-scattered wave.
