Convergence performance of the coupled-wave and the differential methods for thin gratings
نویسنده
چکیده
The new formulation of the coupled-wave analysis recently proposed by Lalanne and Morris [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 13, 779 (1996)] and by Granet and Guizal [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 13, 1019 (1996)] that drastically improves the convergence performance of the method for lamellar gratings and for TM polarization is shown to be badly conditioned for gratings with a small thickness. Numerical evidence obtained with the coupled-wave analysis and with the differential methods for several grating diffraction problems shows that, in some cases that we identify, the convergence of the conventional formulation can be faster than that of the new one. The discussion includes lamellar, multilevel binary, and continuous-profile geometries. © 1997 Optical Society of America [S0740-3232(97)00407-9]

Free vibration analysis of thin annular plates integrated with piezoelectric layers using differential quadrature method
In this article, using generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) methods, free vibration of a thin annular plate coupled with two open circuit piezoelectric layers, is numerically studied based on the classical plate theory. The governing differential equations with respective boundary conditions are derived and transformed into a set of algebraic equations by implementing the GDQ rule, then so...

This paper presents a simple and computationally-efficient algorithm for solving steady two-dimensional subsonic and transonic compressible flow over an airfoil. This work uses an interactive viscous-inviscid solution by incorporating the viscous effects in a thin shear-layer. Boundary-layer approximation reduces the Navier-Stokes equations to a parabolic set of coupled, non-linear partial diff...

متن کاملModified Wavelet Method for Solving Two-dimensional Coupled System of Evolution Equations
As two-dimensional coupled system of nonlinear partial differential equations does not give enough smooth solutions, when approximated by linear, quadratic and cubic polynomials and gives poor convergence or no convergence. In such cases, approximation by zero degree polynomials like Haar wavelets (continuous functions with finite jumps) are most suitable and reliable. Therefore, modified numer...
متن کاملImproved formulation of the coupled-wave method for two-dimensional gratings
A new formulation of the coupled-wave method for two-dimensional gratings is proposed. It is based on mathematical and physical results recently obtained for one-dimensional gratings. Numerical evidence obtained for many different diffraction problems, including dielectric, metallic, volume, and surface-relief gratings, shows that the new formulation outperforms the conventional one in terms of...
