Abstract

Light propagation through the layer of a chiral photonic crystal with graded parameters of modulation is considered in the case of oblique incidence. The problem is solved by the Ambartsumian’s layer addition method. It is shown that under certain conditions it is possible to suppress the diffraction oscillations near the diffraction reflection region.
