Different analytic methods (perturbation theory in the Born approximation and under Bragg
reflection, as well as coupled-wave theory and its modifications) are used to derive and …

The paper addresses the leaky stop bands associated with resonant photonic crystal slabs
and periodic waveguides. We apply a semianalytical model pertinent to the second band to …

A closed-form solution for the reflectivity of an optical coating with a sine-wave index profile
(rugate) is derived by using coupled-wave theory. Reflectance is calculated for such …

The major objective of this review is to describe the various theoretical techniques which
have been used to model the reconstruction process in a volume hologram. Extensive …

In the last few decades, bulk-acoustic-wave filters have been essential components of 3G-to-
4G radios. These devices rely on the high electromechanical coupling coefficient (kt 2∼ …

The electromagnetic properties of a structure that is both chiral and periodic are investigated
using coupled-mode equations. The chirality is characterized by the constitutive relations D …

The modal properties of planar multilayered waveguides with a rectangular surface
corrugation are investigated. A rigorous full Floquet numerical analysis is performed for the …

Seasat and aircraft radar imagery of five areas of sand dunes in the southwestern United
States and northwestern Mexico have been studied and compared to Landsat imagery and …

A simple but rigorous chain-matrix analysis is used to determine the plane-wave diffraction
efficiencies and angular selectivities of planar pure-reflection gratings (zero-slant angle) of …

The subject of this thesis is the design, analysis, fabrication, and characterization of
integrated Bragg grating optical filters. We begin by describing the design and analysis of …
