Abstract
Here we present results on Bragg diffraction in the optical range from indium phosphide infilled solid face-centered-cubic silica colloidal crystals. Scanning electron microscopy and optical properties indicate that the semiconductor is homogeneously grown within the three-dimensional lattice of voids in the colloidal crystal. The photonic-crystal behavior of the periodic dielectric is enhanced as a result of the high contrast of dielectric constants when InP is introduced.Keywords
