We show that the envelope of the diffraction efficiency of a two-dimensional silicon photonic crystal can exhibit spectral regions of very small diffraction efficiency (< 10−4), while in other regions, the diffraction efficiency is near unity. In the experiment, light from a halogen lamp is coupled into a balanced Michelson interferometer. At the end mirrors, one of which is replaced by the photonic crystal, the light is focused to a spot diameter of about 100 µm, which illuminates the entire height of the sample. The spectrum is obtained from the Fourier transform of the interferogram. The experimental results on hexagonal, silicon-based photonic crystals agree qualitatively with corresponding numerical calculations. Furthermore, we point out the crucial influence of the surface termination for reflection experiments and speculate about possible applications of such additional spectral filters in Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopy.
