We propose a new method to compute band structures of dispersive photonic crystals. It can treat arbitrarily frequency-dependent, lossy or lossless materials. The band structure problem is first formulated as the eigenvalue problem of an operator function. Finite elements are then used for discretization. Finally, the spectral indicator method is employed to compute the eigenvalues. Numerical examples in both the TE and TM cases are presented to show the effectiveness. There exist very few examples in literature for the TM case and three examples in this paper can serve as benchmarks.
