Abstract
Nanochannel glasses, containing regular hexagonal closed packed arrays of parallel air cylinders with periods varying from 0.25 to 0.19 mu m , are shown to display photonic band-gap behavior throughout the visib le that is consistent with previously published theory. Immersing the glasses in liquids of various refractive indices allowed observation o f the buildup of the bands as a function of cylinder dielectric consta nt.
