A method to produce photonic glasses (disordered dielectric structures built from monodisperse spheres) composed of silica is discussed. This method is capable of dispensing samples in a few minutes with the help of a uniaxial press. An analytical model that accounts for the most relevant features and explains how Mie scattering is the leading phenomenon is developed.
