abstract = "We study the role of noise during the growth process of opal-based photonic crystals, and demonstrate that noise significantly improves their structural properties. We observe a stochastic resonance-like behaviour, where the ordering of the resulting structure improves up to a certain optimal noise level and then deteriorates for larger noise volumes. This demonstrates that noise can have a nontrivial effect when applied during a non-equilibrium pattern forming process.",
