Abstract

Photonic crystals (PCs) are optical materials of periodic refractive index, designed to block light of certain wavelengths ( [1][1] – [5][2] ). Artificial defects such as line- and/or point-defects can be introduced into PCs to allow light to be manipulated. Ultrasmall photonic devices, with sizes
