            Abstract : 
Summary form only given. We will review some of the theory related to the calculation of thermal power spectrum. Then we will discuss how a finite 3D inverted opal PBG structure can be qualitatively studied using a numerical, 3D, matrix-transfer formalism, following the work of Pendry and collaborators. In the context of this model, we compute the thermal power spectrum of a 3D PBG filter in front of an emitting hot surface, as well as that of a heated PBG structure.
