The modulation of luminescence is essential because unwanted spontaneous‐emission
modes have a negative effect on the performance of luminescence‐based photonic devices …

Photonic crystals have proven their potential and are nowadays a familiar concept. They
have been approached from many scientific and technological flanks. Among the many …

Photonic crystals (PhCs) have set up a new trend in optical materials thanks to their potential
to control the propagation of light in the linear and nonlinear regimes. These properties can …

In this paper we present a detailed comparison of experimentally observed modifications of
the emission behavior of dye molecules embedded in colloidal photonic crystals with …

Spontaneous decay behaviors from an assembly of atoms (or molecules) in 3D photonic
crystals (PC's) with pseudogaps are investigated. Theoretically, a lifetime distribution …

Controlling the radiative rate of emitters with macromolecular photonic structures promises
flexible devices with enhanced performances that are easy to scale up. For instance …

We have observed strongly modified spontaneous-emission spectra from laser dye in
photonic crystals made of inverse opals in titania (TiO 2). We identify stop bands with large …

We have investigated the dynamics of spontaneous emission from dye molecules
embedded in opal photonic crystals. Fluorescence lifetimes of Rhodamine 6G (R6G) dye …

The photonic band gap (PBG) effect on the fluorescence lifetime of molecules in three–
dimensional colloidal photonic crystals is studied theoretically by means of a full vectorial …

The concept of photonic crystals originates at the intersection of wave optics and solid-state
physics. They extend the multidimensional periodicity, so ubiquitous in nature's atomic and …
