Abstract
Polystyrene colloidal crystals form three-dimensional periodic dielectric structures which can be used for photonic band structure measurements in the visible regime. Kossel lines obtained from these crystals reveal the underlying photonic band structure of the lattice in a qualitative way. Also, Kossel lines are useful for locating symmetry points of the lattice for exact orientation of the crystals. Prom transmission measurements the photonic band structure of an fcc crystal has been obtained along the directions between the L-point and the W-point. A modified Mach-Zehnder interferometer has also been developed for accurately measuring relative phase shifts of light propagating in photonic crystals to determine the dispersion resulting from photonic band structure near the band edges.
