Abstract
Recently, photonic bandgap structures (PBGS) and their optical properties have attracted great interest, both in terms of basic physics as well as from an applications aspect.1 PBGS may be used to explore atom-vacuum field interactions as manifested in their affect on optical transition lifetimes and the spatial intensity pattern of spontaneous emission as has been done previously with optical cavities.2,3 One advantage of a PBGS over a macroscopic optical cavity when examining these effects is experimental simplicity.
