Abstract: The present paper covers the various photonic crystals(PhCs) structures mimicking real atom-lattice structures in electronic crystals by using the femtosecond laser-induced two-photon photopolymerization of SU-8  resin. The bandgap properties were investigated by varying the crystal orientations in <111>, <110> and <100> of diamond-lattice PhCs. The photonic stop gaps were present at λ=3.88 μm in <111> direction, λ=4.01 μm in <110> direction and λ=5.30 μm in <100> direction, respectively. In addition, defects were introduced in graphite-lattice PhCs and the strong localization of photons in this structure with defects at λ=5 μm was achieved. All the above work shows the powerful capability of femtosecond laser fabrication in manufacturing various complicated three-     dimensional photonic crystals and of controlling photons by inducing defects in the PhCs samples.
