Abstract

Three-dimensional periodic microstructure of air spheres in (Pb,La)(Zr,Ti)O3 (PLZT) matrix were synthesized by sol–gel process using synthetic opals as template. The micro-region optical reflection spectra of PLZT inverse opal photonic crystals have been on-line measured continuously with treating temperature increasing. It demonstrates that the bandgap blue-shifts with treating temperature increasing based on the diminishment of periodical size in sintering process. The tunable band gap in PLZT inverse opals should be of high interest in device application.
