Differential theory for diffraction gratings: a new formulation for TM polarization with rapid convergence.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new formulation of the differential method in TM polarization, based on correct representation of truncated Fourier series of products of discontinuous functions, is proposed. Although the derived equations are more complicated than in the classical formulation, the convergence rate with respect to the truncation parameter (with the number of diffraction orders taken into account) is much faster for arbitrary grating profiles, approaching the convergence rate in TE polarization. Numerical examples are presented for dielectric and metallic sinusoidal gratings with a 100% modulation ratio.

Convergence performance of the coupled-wave and the differential methods for thin gratings
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 obtaine...
متن کاملGrating theory: new equations in Fourier space leading to fast converging results for TM polarization.
Using theorems of Fourier factorization, a recent paper [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 13, 1870 (1996)] has shown that the truncated Fourier series of products of discontinuous functions that were used in the differential theory of gratings during the past 30 years are not converging everywhere in TM polarization. They turn out to be converging everywhere only at the limit of infinitely low modulated grat...
متن کاملAnalysis of diffraction gratings by using an edge element method.
Typically the grating problem is formulated for TE and TM polarizations by using, respectively, the electric and magnetic fields aligned with the grating wall and perpendicular to the plane of incidence, and this leads to a one-field-component problem. For some grating profiles such as metallic gratings with a triangular profile, the prediction of TM polarization by using a standard finite-elem...
متن کاملAnalysis of diffraction by surface-relief crossed gratings with use of the Chandezon method: application to multilayer crossed gratings
A new formulation of the Chandezon method for crossed gratings is presented. In the nonorthogonal translation coordinate system, an arbitrary field in a homogeneous source-free region can be expressed as the sum of a TE field and a TM field. It is shown that the whole solution can be derived from the eigensolutions of an operator independent of the polarization. In addition, use is made of the ...
متن کاملMaxwell equations in Fourier space: fast-converging formulation for diffraction by arbitrary shaped, periodic, anisotropic media.
We establish the most general differential equations that are satisfied by the Fourier components of the electromagnetic field diffracted by an arbitrary periodic anisotropic medium. The equations are derived by use of the recently published fast-Fourier-factorization (FFF) method, which ensures fast convergence of the Fourier series of the field. The diffraction by classic isotropic gratings a...
