Abstract:
When the minimum characteristic dimension of diffractive structures approaches the illumination wavelength, a vector model is required to perform the diffraction analysis. The vector model is also needed when the area of interest is located near the diffractive element. Analytical vector solutions of diffraction problems can be determined for some periodic structures; as for the aperiodic structures, the boundary conditions on electromagnetic fields often negate the analytical solution. Therefore, numerical technologies based on solving Maxwell’s equations should be used to simulate diffraction by aperiodic diffractive optical elements.
