Abstract
Photonic crystals of close-packed arrays of air spheres in a dielectric background of titania have been fabricated with a ceramic technique. Unlike previous methods, ordering of the spheres and the formation of the titania network are performed simultaneously. The photonic crystals exhibit a reflectance peak and a uniform color at the position of the first stop band. The wavelength of the reflectance peak scales very well with the sphere size.
