Abstract

Three-dimensional opal-silicon composites with both direct (a variable extent of filling of opal voids with silicon) and inverted structures have been synthesized. A structural analysis of these fabricated systems is performed. Reflectance spectra from the (111) surface of the composites are measured within the spectral range 400-900 nm. Observed spectral features are interpreted as a manifestation of the [111] direction photonic band gap that is tunable in position and width in the visible and near-infrared spectral ranges.
