Area of Science:

Optics and Photonics
Computational Electromagnetics

Background:

Accurate analysis of lamellar diffraction gratings is crucial for optical device design.
Existing pseudospectral methods can face limitations in robustness and accuracy, particularly with metallic components.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an advanced pseudospectral modal method (PSMM(f)) for analyzing lamellar diffraction gratings and grating stacks.
To improve upon existing methods in terms of accuracy and robustness.

Main Methods:

The Fourier-matching pseudospectral modal method (PSMM(f)) combines Chebyshev pseudospectral methods for eigenmode calculation with Fourier matching at interfaces.
Eigenmodes of grating layers are accurately computed using a Chebyshev pseudospectral approach.
Fourier coefficients are matched across layer interfaces to ensure continuity.

Main Results:

The PSMM(f) demonstrates superior robustness and accuracy compared to point-matching pseudospectral modal methods.
The method outperforms the standard Fourier modal method for diffraction gratings incorporating metals.
Accurate calculation of eigenmodes is achieved through the Chebyshev pseudospectral method.

Conclusions:

The developed PSMM(f) provides a more reliable and precise tool for analyzing lamellar diffraction gratings.
This method is particularly advantageous for gratings with metallic materials, overcoming limitations of previous techniques.
