The authors observed amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) from dye-doped polymer film sandwiched by two opal photonic crystals (PhCs). The ASE effect occurred at $599 nm$ with a full width at half maximum of about $5.1 nm$ ⁠, which corresponds to the $L$ -point gap edge of the opal PhCs. Photoluminescence lifetimes of both dye-doped polymer films with and without opal PhCs were measured and corroborated that the ASE of the dye-doped polymer film emission is due to the presence of the photonic stop band.
