Photonic crystals can be thought of as optical analogues of semiconductors. Here recent advances in photonic crystals based on silicon are reviewed. After summarizing the theory of photonic bandgap materials, the preparation and linear optical properties of 1D, 2D, and 3D silicon‐based photonic crystals are discussed. Laterally structured porous silicon with a defect line is shown in the Figure.
