| Abstract: | The interaction of linearly polarized light with photonic crystals based on bulk and thin-film synthetic opals is studied.
Experimental transmission spectra and spectra showing the polarization state of light transmitted through opals are discussed.
A change in polarization is found for waves experiencing Bragg diffraction from systems of crystallographic planes of the
opal lattice. It is shown that the polarization plane of the incident linearly polarized wave at the exit from photonic crystals
can be considerably rotated. In addition, incident linearly polarized light can be transformed to elliptically polarized light
with the turned major axis of the polarization ellipse. Analysis of polarization states of transmitted light by using the
transfer-matrix theory and homogenization theory revealed good agreement between calculated and experimental spectra. |
