We study the mesoscopic light transport and emission dynamics in a photonic structure made up of monodisperse scatterers as it undergoes an order-disorder structural transition. We have found a prominent tunable gaplike ...

The interaction of polarized light with photonic crystals exhibits unique features due to its subwavelength nature on the surface and the periodic variation of refractive index in the depth of the crystals. Here, we present ...

We study the direction- and wavelength-dependent polarization anisotropy in light scattering at the air–photonic crystal interface as a function of angle of incidence for TE and TM polarized light. This is done using ...

The propagation and emission of light in a real photonic crystal is routinely affected by the intrinsic disorder and its finite-size. Thus, theoretical calculation based on the notion of a defect free crystal with an ...

We report experimental evidence of wavelength-dependent polarization anisotropy in 3D photonic crystals with fcc symmetry. We discuss the modification of Brewster angle due to involuted light scattering at the air-photonic ...
