Abstract :
Ballistic light propagation in the heterogeneous photonic crystals based on the thin triple-film opal have been studied in the wavelength range of low order photonic bandgaps. Since the scattered light experiences the diffraction attenuation, the spectra and the angle diagrams of the transmitted and forward scattered light have been used to identify the effect of heterostructuring
