A one-dimensional photonic crystal (1DPC) consisting of a stack of alternate TiO(2) and Al(2)O(3) layers is deposited on the side wall of a glass rod by Atomic Layer Deposition. The stack is designed to sustain TE-polarized Bloch Surface Waves (BSW) in the visible spectrum at wavelengths shorter than 650 nm. Experimental evidence of light coupling and guiding capabilities of the 1DPC is provided together with a possible application for fluorescence-based remote sensors.
