A Tutorial Introduction

  • Chapter
Electromagnetic Theory of Gratings

Part of the book series: Topics in Current Physics ((TCPHY,volume 22))

Abstract

This chapter is especially devoted to beginners, that is to say to those who are perhaps experienced in optics but who are not specialists in microwave theory. We first derive the well-known grating formula from Maxwell equations and the associated boundary conditions. Then we give an idea of the different methods which can be used to predict theoretically the efficiencies of a grating, when the groove shape and the index of the material are known.
