A high‐order discontinuous Galerkin method for calculations of complex dispersion relations of two‐dimensional photonic crystals is presented. The medium is characterized by a complex‐valued permittivity and we relate for this absorptive system the spectral parameter to the time frequency. We transform the non‐linear eigenvalue problem for a Lorentz material in air into a non‐Hermitian linear eigenvalue problem and uses a Krylov space method to compute approximate eigenvalues. Moreover, we study the impact of the penalty term numerically and illustrate the high convergence rate of the method. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
