  text: We present the synthesis of indium oxide (In2O3) inverse opal films with photonic
    stop bands in the visible range by a structure replication method. Artificial
    opal films made of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) spheres are utilized as template.
    The opal films are deposited via sedimentation facilitated by ultrasonication,
    and then impregnated by indium nitrate solution, which is thermally converted
    to In2O3 after drying. The quality of the resulting inverse opal film depends
    on many parameters; in this study the water content of the indium nitrate/PMMA
    composite after drying is investigated. Comparison of the reflectance spectra
    recorded by vis-spectroscopy with simulated data shows a good agreement between
    the peak position and calculated stop band positions for the inverse opals. This
    synthesis is less complex and highly efficient compared to most other techniques
    and is suitable for use in many applications.
