An efficient method for band structure calculations in dielectric photonic crystals is presented. The method uses a finite element discretization coupled with a preconditioned subspace iteration algorithm. Numerical examples are presented which illustrate the behavior of the method.

A method for computing band structures for three-dimensional photonic crystals is described. The method combines a mixed finite element discretization on a uniform grid with a fast Fourier transform preconditioner and a preconditioned subspace iteration algorithm. Numerical examples illustrating the
Using the revised plane wave method, we have calculated the photonic band structures of 2D metallic photonic crystals composed of parallel metallic rods in air background and air holes drilled in metal background. We discuss the maximization of gap-to-midgap ratio as a function of scatterer paramete
