Abstract
The Rayleigh-Fourier method and the method of Chandezon et al. for the calculation of diffraction efficiency of sinusoidal metal, dielectric and coated dielectric gratings are compared with respect to the threshold truncation value and the thickness of the coating layer. For shallow gratings the convergence of the two methods is practically one and the same. However, for deeper gratings the method of Chandezon et al. is more powerful. It is shown that for coated dielectric gratings the thickness of the layer imposes a limit on the truncation value, the limitations being weaker for the method of Chandezon et al.

Theoretical Study of the Anomalies of Coated Dielectric Gratings

TL;DR: In this paper, the zero-order diffraction efficiency anomalies of a corrugated dielectric waveguide were studied theoretically in detail and a new and surprising phenomenon was observed: the efficiency changes from 0 to 100 per cent in the vicinity of the excitation of guided waves.

Scattering-matrix approach to multilayer diffraction

TL;DR: In this paper, a multilayer diffraction grating is proposed to determine the optical response function of a multi-layer structure with imposed periodicity in the plane of the layers, which is based on the well-established coordinate transformation procedure developed by Chandezon et al. in which a periodically modulated surface is transformed into a frame in which it is flat.

Multilayer-coated diffraction gratings: differential method of Chandezon et al. revisited

TL;DR: In this paper, the R-matrix propagation algorithm is used to remove completely the previously existing limitations on the total coating thickness and the total number of coated layers, and the symmetry properties of the eigenvalue problem that arises in the differential formalism are analyzed.

Multicoated gratings: a differential formalism applicable in the entire optical region

TL;DR: In this paper, a new formalism for the diffraction of an electromagnetic plane wave by a multicoated grating is presented, which uses a coordinate system that maps all the interfaces onto parallel planes.
