Abstract
The current generation of photon scattering experiments requires a fast, accurate, general technique for calculation of transmission coefficients and of photonic band structure. A new methodology, which has significant advantages of speed and convenience, enables the band structure and, for the first time, transmission coefficients of complex dielectric materials to be calculated. Excellent agreement with experiment is found.
