Abstract :
Enhanced light-matter interaction in 3D photonic crystals (PhCs) is usually obtained by embedding defects for light confinement. However, in the case of opal-based PhCs, the reported quality factor of planar defects was not better than that of Fabry-Perot oscillations. In this presentation we demonstrate that stronger light confinement and/or its longer dwell times can be achieved using hybrid metal-dielectric PhCs.
