Abstract
Topological tuning of photonic crystals significantly changes their photonic-band properties. Significant modification of inverse opal topology by heat treatment and a two-step atomic layer deposition infiltration process is demonstrated, facilitating precise control and tuning of photonic-band properties. The figure shows topologies at different degrees of backfilling.
