Different experimental strategies towards the 3-dimensional photonic crystals operating at optical wavelength are classified. The detailed discussion is devoted to the recent progress in photonic crystals fabricated by template method — the photonic band gap materials on the base of opal. The control of photonic properties of opal-based gratings is achieved through impregnating the opal with high refractive index semiconductors and dielectrics. Experimental study demonstrated the dependence of the stop band behaviour upon the type of impregnation (complete or partial) and showed a way for approaching complete photonic band gap. The photoluminescence from opal- semiconductor gratings revealed suppression of spontaneous emission in the gap region with following enhancement of the emission efficiency at the low-energy edge of the gap.

Two models (an upper levels coupling model and a lower levels coupling model) of a four-level atom embedded in a double-band photonic crystal are adopted. The effect of spontaneous emission cancellation of such systems embedded in different reservoirs are investigated. Especially, the "trapping conditions" of such systems in photonic band gap (PBG) reservoirs are discussed for the first time. We also investigate the different quantum interference effects of the lower levels coupling model embedded in an isotropic PBG reservoir. It is interesting that when the trapping conditions are fulfilled, the additional peaks, which result from the contribution of the additional singularities of Laplace transform of the delayed Green function of the isotropic PBG modes, are eliminated.PACS Nos.: 42.50.Gy, 42.50.Ct, 42.70.Qs
