The optical stop band in the transmission spectra and the peak in the reflection spectra of opals with a three-dimensional periodic structure shift drastically upon infiltration with organic materials such as liquids, liquid crystals and conducting polymers. In these infiltrated opals, the stop band and reflection peak have been confirmed to be tunable by adjusting various conditions such as temperature and applied voltage.
