Two recursive and numerically stable matrix algorithms for modeling layered diffraction
gratings, the S-matrix algorithm and the R-matrix algorithm, are systematically presented in a …

A new implementation of the coupled-wave method for TM polarization is proposed. We use
a second-order differential operator established by Nevière together with a scattering-matrix …

Based on more than 30 years of research on differential theories of gratings, this book
describes developments in differential theory for applications in spectroscopy, acoustics, X …

The coordinate-transformation-based differential method of Chandezon et al.[J. Opt.(Paris)
11, 235 (1980); J. Opt. Soc. Am. 72, 839 (1982)](the C method) is one of the simplest and …

The first publication about the discovery of a diffraction grating by the American astronomer
D. Rittenhouse dates back to 1786. It was not noticed by the scientific community of the day …

The coordinate transformation method for modeling surface-relief gratings is reformulated
with use of the recent results [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A13, 1870 (1996)] on the Fourier factorization …

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 …

A formulation of the Chandezon method for modeling one-dimensionally periodic, multilayer,
inhomogeneous, anisotropic diffraction gratings is presented. The formulation is based on …

Model based approaches in dimensional metrology have great potential in terms of better
accuracy. In some cases they may even help to overcome classical resolution criteria. A …

Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPPs) are confined solutions of Maxwell's equations which
propagate at the interface between a metal and a dielectric medium and have origin from the …
