Area of Science:

  • Electromagnetics and Optics
  • Computational Physics

Background:

  • Traditional coupled-wave methods (CWM) are limited in analyzing aperiodic structures.
  • Accurate modeling of non-periodic optical and electromagnetic systems is crucial for device design.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel formulation of the coupled-wave method (CWM) capable of handling aperiodic lamellar structures.
  • To provide a validated computational tool for analyzing complex, non-periodic systems.

Main Methods:

  • Developed the aperiodic coupled-wave method (ACWM) by employing Fourier integrals instead of Fourier series.
  • Represented relative permittivity using its Fourier transform in the modulated region.
  • Derived integro-differential equations, discretized them into ordinary differential equations, and solved as an eigenvalue problem.
