Abstract

A general method is proposed to frequency domain analysis of inhomogeneous two-dimensional periodic gratings. Each component of electromagnetic fields is expressed by several spatial harmonic plane waves. Then, two differential equations are obtained for the reflection and transmission matrices, using wave-splitting approach. Solving these equations gives us the co- and cross-polarized reflection and transmission coefficients. The method is studied using some examples.
