Photonic band gap structures by sol–gel processing

Abstract Since the launching of the photonic bandgap concept in 1987, the development of corresponding structures has expanded very rapidly, in particular two-dimensional semiconductor-based structures. In the case of sol–gel derived materials, the main emphasis for the past year has been on one-dimensional multilayer stacks and, in particular, on three-dimensional structures of the opal and inverse opal type.
