Real photonic crystals suffer from imperfections due to inaccuracies in manufacture. Therefore these imperfections have to be taken into account as disorder in the lattice structure when the properties of photonic crystals are simulated. Here, in particular the effect of positional and radial disorder on the density-of-states and on the mode structure of electromagnetic waves in a photonic crystal is studied for 2D systems.
