    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.

    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.
