During the last ten years, the discontinuous Galerkin time-domain (DGTD) method has progressively emerged as a viable alternative to well established finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) and finite-element time-domain (FETD) methods for the numerical simulation of electromagnetic wave propagation problems in the time-domain. We discuss here about the development and application of such a DTGD method for solving the system of time-domain Maxwell equations coupled to material models relevant to nanophotonics. Our efforts aim at improving the accuracy, flexibility and efficiency of the method in view of the numerical treatment of realistic problems.
