Photonic crystals with line and point defects are desirable for application as photonic bandgap waveguides and optical cavities, respectively. Here such defects have been introduced into photonic crystals using a laser scanning confocal microscope. High‐resolution 3D patterns are created inside the colloidal crystals (see Figure) via multi‐photon polymerization.
