We present scattering matrix calculations using localized photonic Wannier functions as optimally adapted basis [1,2] to efficiently characterize interfaces between different photonic functional elements, such as coupled waveguides in two different photonic crystals. The Wannier function S-matrix approach allows us to design the coupling region in such a way that the transmission through these interfaces is optimized over a desired frequency range. Furthermore, the method may also be applied to find efficient coupling designs between slab waveguides and PC line defect waveguides.
