Abstract

Synthetic opals filled with CdTe exhibit a pronounced decrease of the intensity of photoluminescence for photon energies within the photonic band-gap. However, the intensity of emission increases much faster with the level of pumping inside the photonic band-gap than outside. It is argued that this behaviour can be explained if there is stimulated emission from photonic states in the photonic bandgap, which are strongly localized due to disorder. © 2004 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
