摘要
We studied angle-dependent reflectivity spectra of opal photonic crystals infiltrated with cyanine dye aggregates, which are highly polarizable media with very large Rabi frequency. We show that, at resonance condition between the exciton-polariton of the dye aggregate and the Bragg gap, the Bragg stop band decomposes into two reflectivity bands with a semitransparent spectral range in between, that is due to propagation of braggoritons inside the gap.
