Abstract
The spectra of secondary emission of a globular photonic crystal such as the opal matrix filled with the POPOP aromatic compound (a known luminophore) and initial materials excited by semiconductor light-emitting diodes were studied. It was found that the luminescence spectrum of opal filled with POPOP significantly differs from luminescence spectra of POPOP itself and initial opal. It was shown that the observed luminescence in the visible region is mostly caused by three-photon parametric light scattering. In this case, the spectral shape is controlled by the photon density of states, differing from the photon density of states of pure opal. The shape of the secondary emission spectrum of artificial opal filled with POPOP was calculated. The effect of the photonic bandgap position on the intensity distribution of spontaneous emission of used luminophore was established.
