Journal ArticleDOI
Convergence of the coupled-wave method for metallic lamellar diffraction gratings
Lifeng Li,Charles W. Haggans +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the coupled-wave method converges slowly for metallic lamellar gratings in TM polarization, and the reason for the slow convergence was attributed to the use of Fourier expansions to represent the permittivity and the electromagnetic fields in the grating region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effective-medium theory of zeroth-order lamellar gratings in conical mountings
TL;DR: In this article, a formalism for calculating the ordinary and extraordinary refractive indices for a uniaxial film with optical properties equivalent to those of a conically mounted zeroth-order lamellar grating is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lamellar gratings as polarization components for specularly reflected beams
TL;DR: In this article, high spatial frequency lamellar gratings are shown to function as phase compensators, quarter-wave and half-wave retarders, and polarization rotators that operate on specularly reflected (zeroth-order) beams.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Integrated device with diffractive polarization components for a magneto-optical disk head
TL;DR: In this article, the optical components in the detection train of a conventional magneto-optical (MO) disk head are replaced by an integrated device composed of cascaded volume and surface-relief gratings.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Use of rigorous vector coupled-wave theory for designing and tolerancing surface-relief diffractive components for magneto-optical heads
TL;DR: In this paper, a rigorous coupled wave model is presented, experimentally validated, and used for tolerancing surface relief diffractive elements applications of the model in the design and tolerancing of components for magneto optical (M-O) data storage heads are investigated.
