Enhancement of nonlinear absorption of polystyrene (PS) was investigated using 3D PS photonic crystals (PCs) with Z-scan technique. The Z-scan experiment was carried out at 532 nm in the picosecond (ps) regime. The transmittance of the PC was found to get modified because of the nonlinear absorption of PS particularly when 532 nm is near the photonic stop band (PSB) edge of PC. Calculations show that the field gets enhanced by 1.4 times the input field intensity within the crystal when the 532 nm wavelength falls at the PSB edge while keeping the crystal at an angle of 35 degrees.
