Abstract
In analogy to an electron in a periodic crystal potential, photonic crystals (PC) use a periodimodulation of the refractive index in one, two or three dimensions in order to create photonic band gaps.1 The propagation of light can be controlled on nanometer scale leading to applications such as compact filters,2 highly efficient light emitters3 or sharply bent waveguides.4 Therefore PC offer promising ways for the realization of integrated optic devices.
