Abstract

We report an investigation of luminescent and tunable photonic crystal structures formed by the infiltration and inversion of opal templates with high index and luminescent materials. Protocols are reported for the deposition of these materials and the properties of the resulting structures investigated by conventional structural and optical measurements. The properties of multi-layered and backfilled structures are reported and demonstrate the potential to modulate and statically tune the luminescence from photonic crystals.
