49. We avoid speaking of a [111] orientation, as most commonly done in the literature, since we reserve this expression for the nonequivalent Γ-L-U and Γ-L-K orientations that are the focus of this work.

52. We have verified this statement by numerical calculation of reflectance spectra on finite-size opals with different orientations using the Fourier-modal or scattering-matrix method described in Ref..

58. Notice that, using confocal microscopy in reflection mode, the images of the second layer are slightly distorted due to scattering from interfaces in the first layer. As Fig. 4 shows, such a distortion does not impede the collection of optical images of the first two layers with reasonable quality. In Ref. a characterization technique based on the confocal microscope is demonstrating that imaging of the first three layers of the opal is actually possible. As an alternative, fluorescence confocal microscopy using light emitting spheres could be used: see, e.g., V. Kitaev, S. Fournier-Bidoz, S. M. Yang, and G. A. Ozin, J. Mater. Chem. 12, 966 (2002). Even in this case, however, distortion of the excitation laser spot, impinging on the second layer through the first one, cannot in principle be avoided. 10.1039/b110826n
59. Notice that it is crucial to specify the experimental geometry: for example, if the beam would be incident from the top (negative kz) but with a positive kx component, measurements on domain 1 would probe the Γ-L-K orientation, i.e., the roles of the two nonequivalent orientations would be reversed.
60. This is verified by the anisotropy of the optical properties shown below. Also, we have direct evident of the fcc structure from confocal microscopy measurements with a deeper focus (not shown here, see Ref.).
