One of the numerical methods for solving problems of scattering of electromagnetic waves by systems formed by parallel oriented cylindrical elements — two-dimensional photonic crystals — is considered. The method is based on the classical method of separation of variables for solving the wave equation. Тhe essence of the method is to represent the field as the sum of the primary field and the unknown secondary scattered on the elements of the medium field. The mathematical expression for the latter is written in the form of infinite series in elementary wave functions with unknown coefficients. In particular, the field scattered by N elements is sought as the sum of N diffraction series, in which one of the series is composed of the wave functions of one body, and the wave functions in the remaining series are expressed in terms of the eigenfunctions of the first body using addition theorems. From satisfying the boundary conditions on the surface of each element we obtain systems of linear algebraic equations with an infinite number of unknowns — the required expansion coefficients, which are solved by standard methods. A feature of the method is the use of analytical expressions describing diffraction by a single element of the system. In contrast to most numerical methods, this approach allows one to obtain information on the amplitude-phase or spectral characteristics of the field only at local points of the structure. The absence of the need to determine the field parameters in the entire area of space occupied by the considered multi-element system determines the high efficiency of this method. The paper compares the results of calculating the transmission spectra of two-dimensional photonic crystals by the considered method with experimental data and numerical results obtained using other approaches. Their good agreement is demonstrated.
