    A new electromagnetic algorithm analyzes large diffractive optical elements (DOEs) efficiently. This method uses a moving window to solve complex problems, enabling detailed analysis of large-scale optical devices.

    Area of Science:

    • Computational electromagnetics
    • Diffractive optics analysis
    • Optical engineering

    Background:

    • Electrically large diffractive optical elements (DOEs) present significant analysis challenges.
    • Existing methods struggle with the scale and feature complexity of large DOEs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a rigorous electromagnetic algorithm for analyzing electrically large DOEs.
    • To enable efficient and accurate simulation of complex optical elements.

    Main Methods:

    • A finite-sized analysis window employing rigorous electromagnetic techniques.
    • Integration of boundary-element and finite-difference time-domain methods.
    • Translation and stitching of the analysis window across the DOE surface.
