We characterize both the group delay and the transmission of a layered semiconductor structure in a single easily interpreted plot. The data spans a 50 nm wide spectral range with 1.7 nanometer wavelength resolution, and a 1.3 picosecond wide temporal range with temporal resolution of tens of femtoseconds. Specific data for a 28 period GaAs/AlAs layered photonic band-gap structure that characterizes both group delay and transmission of multiple photonic resonances in a single display are presented and compared to theory.
