摘要
A broadband hyperspectral technique is used to measure the coherent optical backscatter across a wide spectral bandwidth, showing the resonant suppression of the photon transport mean free path around the photonic bandgap of a shear-assembled polymer photonic crystal. By doping with carbon nanoscale scatterers that reside at specific points within the photonic crystal lattice, the ratio between photon mean free path and optical penetration is tuned from 10 to 1, enhancing forward scatter at the expense of back-scatter. The back-scattering strength of different polarisations is not explained by any current theory.
