title: Fabrication of photonic crystals in ZnS-doped glass.
abstract: Three-dimensional photonic crystals were fabricated in a ZnS-doped silicate glass by use of a femtosecond pulsed laser. Woodpile structures consisting of 36 layers were produced by focusing with a 100x (1.35-numerical-aperture) objective. Attenuations of approximately 3-8 dB arising from a photonic bandgap were observed in the visible and the near-infrared regions.
