    Solving conical diffraction with integral equations
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2009) Goray, Leonid I.; Schmidt, Gunther
    Off-plane scattering of time-harmonic plane waves by a diffraction grating with arbitrary conductivity and general border profile is considered in a rigorous electromagnetic formulation. The integral equations for conical diffraction were obtained using the boundary integrals of the single and double layer potentials including the tangential derivative of single layer potentials interpreted as singular integrals. We derive an important formula for the calculation of the absorption in conical diffraction. Some rules which are expedient for the numerical implementation of the theory are presented. The efficiencies and polarization angles compared with those obtained by Lifeng Li for transmission and reflection gratings are in a good agreement. The code developed and tested is found to be accurate and efficient for solving off-plane diffraction problems including high-conductive surfaces, borders with edges, real border profiles, and gratings working at short wavelengths.

    Integral equations for conical diffraction by coated gratings
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2008) Schmidt, Gunther
    The paper is devoted to integral formulations for the scattering of plane waves by diffraction gratings under oblique incidence. For the case of coated gratings Maxwell's equations can be reduced to a system of four singular integral equations on the piecewise smooth interfaces between different materials. We study analytic properties of the integral operators for periodic diffraction problems and obtain existence and uniqueness results for solutions of the systems corresponding to electromagnetic fields with locally finite energy.

    Integral methods for conical diffraction
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2009) Schmidt, Gunther
    The paper is devoted to the scattering of a plane wave obliquely illuminating a periodic surface. Integral equation methods lead to a system of singular integral equations over the profile. Using boundary integral techniques we study the equivalence of these equations to the electromagnetic formulation, the existence and uniqueness of solutions under general assumptions on the permittivity and permeability of the materials. In particular, new results for materials with negative permittivity or permeability are established.

    Sensitivity analysis of 2D photonic band gaps of any rod shape and conductivity using a very fast conical integral equation method
    (Berlin: Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2012) Goray, Leonid; Schmidt, Gunther
    The conical boundary integral equation method has been proposed to calculate the sensitive optical response of 2D photonic band gaps (PBGs), including dielectric, absorbing, and highconductive rods of various shapes working in any wavelength range. It is possible to determine the diffracted field by computing the scattering matrices separately for any grating boundary profile. The computation of the matrices is based on the solution of a 2×2 system of singular integral equations at each interface between two different materials. The advantage of our integral formulation is that the discretization of the integral equations system and the factorization of the discrete matrices, which takes the major computing time, are carried out only once for a boundary. It turned out that a small number of collocation points per boundary combined with a high convergence rate can provide adequate description of the dependence on diffracted energy of very different PBGs illuminated at arbitrary incident and polarization angles. The numerical results presented describe the significant impact of rod shape on diffraction in PBGs supporting polariton-plasmon excitation, particularly in the vicinity of resonances and at high filling ratios. The diffracted energy response calculated vs. array cell geometry parameters was found to vary from a few percent up to a few hundred percent. The influence of other types of anomalies (i.e. waveguide anomalies, cavity modes, Fabry-Perot and Bragg resonances, Rayleigh orders, etc), conductivity, and polarization states on the optical response has been demonstrated.
