Phys. Rev. B 48, 8434–8437 (1993)Accurate theoretical analysis of photonic band-gap materialsSee Also: Erratum Received 11 February 1993; published in the issue dated 15 September 1993 Two improvements for the solution of Maxwell’s equations in periodic dielectric media are introduced, abandoning the plane-wave cutoff and interpolating the dielectric function. These improvements permit the accurate study of previously inaccessible systems. Example calculations are discussed, employing a basis of ∼106 plane waves for which these two improvements reduce both the memory and central processing unit requirements by ∼104. © 1993 The American Physical Society URL:
