If you want a one-sentence description of the algorithm for inclusion in a publication, we recommend:

Fully-vectorial eigenmodes of Maxwell's equations with periodic boundary conditions were computed by preconditioned conjugate-gradient minimization of the block Rayleigh quotient in a planewave basis, using a freely available software package [ref].
