Abstract

The vertical deposition technique and the RF-magnetron sputtering method were employed for fabrication of three-dimensional (3-D) magnetophotonic crystals, in which a bismuth-substituted yttrium-iron-garnet planar defect layer was sandwiched in between two opal thin films. Optical properties and structure of constitutive elements (opal thin films) were studied in detail. An evolution of optical response of a magnetophotonic heterostructure under preparation is presented
