Abstract
The development of three-dimensional photonic crystals with stop bands in the visible and near- IR has attracted much attention recently [1], In particular, colloidal photonic crystals made via selfassembly processes have a number of appealing features [2, 3]. They are readily fabricated in a large area planar thin film format with controllable thickness up to hundreds of repeating layers. In addition, selfassembly and templating techniques offer an impressive versatility with respect to the materials used in fabricating the crystals [4, 5], as well as their structural morphology [6, 7].
