Abstract: An effective method is proposed for identifying structural defects in photonic crystals, which can be used to improve various methods of sample synthesis. The structural characteristics of photonic crystals based on polystyrene microspheres are investigated by methods of spectrophotometry and atomic force microscopy.

Keywords: photonic crystal, vertical deposition method, photonic bandgap.
