✦ Synopsis
One-dimensional opals are 1D self-assembled close packed colloidal crystals consisting of monodisperse colloidal globules. Polystyrene globules with sizes in the 1.9-10 mm range sit on a flat substrate and touch two neighbors in diametrally opposite contact points. These opals are quasi-1D photonic crystals. Optical modes, including whispering gallery modes of individual globules, coupled collective modes, and nanojet-induced modes, are visualized in 1D opals.

## Abstract It is shown that narrowband one‐dimensional photonic crystals can be fabricated from polymeric materials using laboratory scale layer‐multiplying coextrusion technology. The tuning of the photonic bandgap is demonstrated with films that selectively filter different regions of the visibl
## Abstract We present a variational approach to the problem of solitary wave formation in one‐dimensional nonlinear photonic crystals. In particular, we analyze how an arbitrary initial pulse is reshaped into a stable solitary wave by shedding excess radiation. Owing to the strong Bragg‐scattering
