Abstract
Optical properties (transmission and reflection) of 1D photonic crystals (PCs) based on mesoporous anodic aluminum oxide with the lattice periods of 188 and 194nm are investigated. The experimentally measured reflection spectrum is compared in its first bandgap region with the theoretical dependence obtained from the dispersion relation for the 1D PC. Angular dependence is established for spectral positions of bandgaps in the 1D PC. A possibility of using mesoporous aluminum-oxide-based 1D PCs as narrow-band filters, narrow-band mirrors, and refractive sensors of molecular compounds is analyzed.
