Bulk polystyrene opals have been grown. Variable incidence angle reflectance spectroscopy is used to probe their\udphotonic band structures. Several different structures are observed and accounted for by theoretical calculations of\udphotonic bands and density of states. The results yield a clear distinction between diffraction in the direction of\udpropagation by the (111) family planes (leading to the formation of the stop band) and diffraction in other directions by higher-order planes (corresponding to excitation of photonic modes in the crystal)
