A Stable Approach to Conical Diffraction of Nearly Lossless Metallic Gratings
نویسندگان
چکیده
We adopt a multidomain pseudospectral method to analyze lamellar gratings for general conical diffraction from TE and TM diffractions. The validity and usefulness of this approach are demonstrated through normal metallic lossy and highly conductive lossless gratings. The developed method provides excellent numerical stability and convergence over commonly used rigorous couple wave analysis (RCWA) when the nearly lossless metal is involved. In the case, RCWA suffers from instability problem, while our method still performs well.

A modal analysis of lamellar diffraction gratings in conical mountings
A rigorous modal analysis of lamellar gratings, i.e . gratings having rectangular grooves, in conical mountings is presented . It is an extension of the analysis of Botten et al . which considered non-conical mountings. A key step in the extension is a decomposition of the electromagnetic field in the grating region into two orthogonal components. A computer program implementing this extended m...
متن کاملPseudospectral Modal Method for Conical Diffraction of Gratings
For lamellar gratings and other layered periodic structures, the modal methods (including both analytic and numerical ones) are often the most efficient, since they avoid the discretization of one spatial variable. The pseudospectral modal method (PSMM) previously developed for in-plane diffraction problems of one-dimensional gratings achieves high accuracy for a small number of discretization ...
متن کاملBoundary integral equation Neumann-to-Dirichlet map method for gratings in conical diffraction.
Boundary integral equation methods for diffraction gratings are particularly suitable for gratings with complicated material interfaces but are difficult to implement due to the quasi-periodic Green's function and the singular integrals at the corners. In this paper, the boundary integral equation Neumann-to-Dirichlet map method for in-plane diffraction problems of gratings [Y. Wu and Y. Y. Lu,...

The main conditions and parameters for obtaining surface relief total internal reflection diffraction gratings in conical mounting are presented. Calculated and experimental investigations reveal that there are ranges of grating periods, incidence angles, diffraction angles and gratings depths for which such gratings could be obtained, both for TE and TM polarizations. With optimized grating pa...
متن کاملOne-way transmission through the subwavelength slit in nonsymmetric metallic gratings.
An approach for obtaining one-way transmission in the beaming regime is suggested that is based on the directional radiation of surface plasmons in nonsymmetric metallic gratings with a single slit. In contrast to the various nonsymmetric one-way diffraction gratings that have recently been proposed, the possibility of obtaining of narrow beams is demonstrated. Strong directional selectivity ca...
