    "abstract": "We observe experimentally that ensembles of quantum dots in three-dimensional\n(3D) photonic crystals reveal strongly nonexponential time-resolved emission.\nThese complex emission decay curves are analyzed with a continuous distribution\nof decay rates. The log-normal distribution describes the decays well for all\nstudied lattice parameters. The distribution width is identified with\nvariations of the radiative emission rates of quantum dots with various\npositions and dipole orientations in the unit cell. We find a striking sixfold\nchange of the width of the distribution by varying the lattice parameter. This\ninterpretation qualitatively agrees with the calculations of the 3D projected\nlocal density of states. We therefore conclude that fluorescence decay of\nensembles of quantum dots is highly nonexponential to an extent that is\ncontrolled by photonic crystals.",
