A combination of advanced silicon-processing techniques was used to create three-dimensional (3D) photonic crystals with a 180-nm minimum feature size. The resulting 3D crystal displayed a strong stop band at optical wavelengths from {lambda}=1.35 {mu}m to {lambda}=1.95 {mu}m . This is believed to be the smallest 3D crystal with a complete 3D photonic bandgap ever created. {copyright} {ital 1999} {ital Optical Society of America}
