## Abstract In this paper, an improved finite‐difference time‐domain (FDTD) algorithm is proposed in order to eliminate the restraint by the Courant–Friedrich–Levy condition. The new algorithm is developed based on an alternating‐direction implicit (ADI) approach. In this method, the conventional t

Abstract
Development of fast, flexible, and accurate methods for the analysis (and design) of photonic crystals devices is a relevant topic in order to optimize existing devices and/or developing new design solutions. Within this framework, in this article, we present an improved version of the scattering matrix method [1] for the evaluation of the electromagnetic behavior of two‐dimensional finite‐extent photonic crystals made of a finite set of parallel dielectric rods. In particular, by relying on features of the fields to be computed within the device and a suitable aggregation into “macrocells”, a considerable reduction of the number of unknowns of the linear system to be solved is achieved. A numerical analysis confirms the accuracy of the proposed method and the remarkable computational benefit. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
