Abstract :
This paper reports on the influence of a well-designed passband in the stopband of a suitably engineered self-assembled colloidal photonic crystal superlattice on the steady-state and time-resolved emission properties of infiltrated fluorophores. Efficient all-optical integrated circuits can be realized from photonic superlattices and heterostructures.
