Abstract

A novel and numerically efficient treatment of electromagnetic modes localized at defects in two-dimension (2D) photonic crystals is presented in this paper. The method represents the fields in terms of scattered fields by each column of the photonic crystals. With the method, the field distributions in two photonic crystal structures are calculated with satisfying results.
