Defect structures in Photonic Crystals: a Solid State theoretical approach — •Matthias Schillinger, Antonio Garcia-Martin, Sergei F. Mingaleev, Daniel Hermann, Kurt Busch, and Peter Wölfle — Institut für Theorie der Kondensierten Materie, Universität Karlsruhe, 76128 Karlsruhe

We describe an efficient approach to analyze the optical properties of defect structures embedded in Photonic Crystals. It is based on an expansion of the electromagnetic field into optimally localized photonic Wannier functions and, therefore, utilizes the information of the underlying Photonic Crystals available through photonic bandstructure computations.
