This paper presents an FMM for periodic boundary value problems for Maxwell's equations in 3D. The periodic Green function and its derivatives, which are essential to the present method, are derived with Fourier analysis. We verify the proposed method by comparing the obtained numerical results with analytic solutions for models of the multi-layered dielectric slab. We then apply the proposed method to scattering problems for periodic two dimensional arrays of dielectric spheres and compare the obtained energy transmittances with those in the previous studies. We observe good agreements.
