Abstract
The numerical tools for a rigorous electromagnetic study of scattering from photonic crystals are quite different according to whether the photonic crystal is periodic or not. For a periodic crystal, the classical methods used in the numerical study of diffraction gratings [1,2,3] can be used while the study of doped crystal requires more complicated theories, dealing with disordered structures. Other kind of theories, for instance the plane wave method [4] have been used in this context.
