High spatial frequency lamellar gratings are shown to function as phase compensators,
quarter-wave and half-wave retarders, and polarization rotators that operate on specularly …

Reflection of light from a high spatial frequency lamellar grating at a glass-air (Θ> Θ c) or
glass-metal interface introduces a phase shift between the orthogonal polarization …

Abstract Botten et al. 1, 2 developed a rigorous modal theory of lamellar gratings of arbitrary
refractive indices and groove depth at the classical mount (grating groove perpendicular to …

Gratings with modulation varying with depth are important in both bulk and integrated optics.
These gratings can be modeled as a cascaded stack of planar slab gratings. In addition …

Surface-relief, submicron period transmission gratings are fabricated in fused silica. A
rigorous vector diffraction code, based on the coupled-wave analysis technique, is used to …

Theoretical methods for modeling diffraction from grating structures are presented. These
methods are used to investigate polarization properties and resonant effects of …

A broadband quarter-wave plate of subwavelength lamellar grating has been designed by
an optimizing method using the effective medium theory and the rigorous couple wave …

A rigorous modal analysis of lamellar gratings, ie gratings having rectangular grooves, in
conical mountings is presented. It is an extension of the analysis of Botten et al. which …

High-spatial-frequency, surface-relief binary gratings have been shown to have diffraction
properties that are similar to homogeneous layers of equivalent refractive indices, which …
