In this article, a planar dielectric grating diffraction theory is reviewed for the case of a general sinusoidal permittivity planar grating with slanted fringes and plane wave incidence at an arbitrary angle.Abstract:
Various planar dielectric grating diffraction theories are reviewed for the case of a general sinusoidal permittivity planar grating with slanted fringes and plane wave incidence at an arbitrary angle. Exact formulations without approximations (rigorous coupled-wave analysis and rigorous modal analysis) are developed first. Then, using a series of fundamental assumptions, rigorous theory is shown to reduce to the various approximate theories in the appropriate limits. The implications of these fundamental assumptions are discussed.read more

Rigorous coupled-wave analysis of planar-grating diffraction
M. G. Moharam,Thomas K. Gaylord +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a rigorous coupled-wave approach is used to analyze diffraction by general planar gratings bounded by two different media, and the analysis is based on a state-variables representation and results in a unifying, easily computer-implementable matrix formulation.
