Abstract
Using the simplest (sinusoidal) corrugation profile in the approximation of absence of losses in the material as an example, we study the regimes of complete transformation of an incident wave to the diffraction lobe by a corrugated metal surface or a corrugated interface of two dielectric media. A numerical-intuitive pattern of appearance and evolution of such regimes with increasing corrugation amplitude is revealed. It is shown that the regimes of complete transformation of an incident wave to the diffraction lobe are possible in both the case of autocollimation and the case of a considerable deviation from it. The examination is based on a numerical method of solving the integral equation by means of a specially created interactive processing system in Visual Fortran.
