 | Vardeny, Zeev Valentine; Raikh, Mikhail E. | Anomalous coherent backscattering of light from opal photonic crystals | We studied coherent backscattering (CBS) of light from opal photonic crystals with incomplete band gaps. We observed a dramatic broadening of the CBS cone for incident angles close to the Bragg condition in the crystals. We modify the conventional CBS theory to incorporate Bragg attenuation resultin... | Coherent backscattering; Bragg condition | 2001-05 |

 | Vardeny, Zeev Valentine | Coherent umklapp scattering of light from disordered photonic crystals | A theoretical study of the coherent light scattering from disordered photonic crystals is presented. In addition to the conventional enhancement of the reflected light intensity into the backscattering direction, the so-called coherent backscattering (CBS), the periodic modulation of the dielectri... | Coherent umklapp scattering; Disordered photonic crystals; Coherent backscattering; Bragg | 2001-05 |
