The photoluminescence of a dye embedded in the three-dimensional SnS{sub 2} inverted opal has been studied. Changes of the emission spectrum compared with the free-space dye emission was observed in the stop-band frequency range in accord with reflectance/transmission spectra of this photonic crystal. The angular-dependent component, due to the Bragg stop band, and the angular-independent component, which is, possibly, related to the minimum in the density of photon states, have been distinguished in the dye emission spectrum. {copyright} 2001 American Institute of Physics.
