Abstract
In this paper, we report the results of experimental studies of reflectance and transmission spectra of opal-based metal-dielectric photonic crystals. The evolution of reflectance spectra with increase of the Au content towards emerging the novel resonances is strong evidence in favour of transformation the opal PBG structure from dielectric to metal dielectric type. © 2003 IEEE.
