A New Integral Equation Formulation for Scattering by Penetrable Diffraction Gratings
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper is concerned with the problem of scattering of time-harmonic electromagnetic waves from penetrable diffraction gratings in the 2D polarization case. We propose a new, weakly singular, integral equation formulation for the scattering problem which is proved to be uniquely solvable. A main feature of the new integral equation formulation is that it avoids the computation of the normal derivative of double-layer potentials which is difficult and time consuming. A fast numerical algorithm is also developed for the scattering problem, based on the Nyström method for the new integral equation. Numerical examples are also shown to illustrate the applicability of the new integral equation formulation. Mathematics subject classification: 74J20, 65R20.

Volume Integral Equations for Scattering from Anisotropic Diffraction Gratings
We analyze electromagnetic scattering of TM polarized waves from a diffraction grating consisting of a periodic, anisotropic, and possibly negative-index dielectric material. Such scattering problems are important for the modelization of, e.g., light propagation in nano-optical components and metamaterials. The periodic scattering problem can be reformulated as a strongly singular volume integr...

We analyze electromagnetic TM scattering from a diffraction grating consisting of a dielectric with possibly negative real part. The scattering problem can be reformulated as a strongly singular volume integral equation, a technique that attracts continuous interest in the engineering community, but rarely received rigorous theoretic treatment. In this paper, we provide (generalized) G̊arding es...

We present a new boundary integral formulation for time-harmonic wave diffraction from two-dimensional structures with many layers of arbitrary periodic shape, such as multilayer dielectric gratings in TM polarization. Our scheme is robust at all scattering parameters, unlike the conventional quasi-periodic Green's function method which fails whenever any of the layers approaches a Wood anomaly...
