Theoretical and numerical study of diffraction on electromagnetic optics VI. Obliquely incident t.e.-polarized gaussian beams on a finite grating with conducting substrate

SE PRESENTA UNA TEORIA RIGUROSA MODAL PARA LA DIFRACCION DE UN HAZ GAUSIANO CON POLARIZACION T.E. INCIDIENDO OBLICUAMENTE SOBRE UNA RED DE DIFRACCION FINITA HECHA DE N RENDIJAS. LA PANTALLA DONDE ESTAN EXCAVADAS LAS RENDIJAS ES PLANA E INFINITAMENTE CONDUCTORA, MIENTRAS QUE EL SUSTRATO PUEDE SER UN DIELECTRICO O UN METAL CON INDICE DE REFRACCION COMPLEJO . ESTUDIAMOS EL PATRON DE RADIACION EN CAMPO LEJANO, EL COEFICIENTE DE TRANSMISION Y LA ENERGIA NORMALMENTE DIFRACTADA. PARTICULARMENTE SE ANALIZA EL ACOPLAMIENTO ENTRE RENDIJAS Y LA INFLUENCIA DEL SUSTRATO. Abstract DIFFRACTION OF AN OBLIQUELY INCIDENT TE-POLARIZED GAUSSIAN BEAMS BY N EQUALLY SPACED SLITS (FINITE GRATING) WITH CONDUCTING SUBSTRATE IS TREATED. THE SUBSTRATE CAN BE EITHER VACUUM OR CONDUCTOR. THE DIFFRACTED AND SCATTERED PATTERNS, THE TRANSMISSION AND REFLECTION COEFFICIENTS, AND THE NORMALLY DIFFRACTED ENERGY ARE ANALYZED AS A FUNCTION OF SEVERAL OPTOGEOMETRICAL PARAMETERS. PARTICULARLY, THE COUPLING BETWEEN SLITS AND THE INFLUENCE OF THE SUBSTRATE IS CONSIDERED. WE HAVE FOUND THAT, WHEN THE SUBSTRATE IS A CONDUCTOR, THE GRATING EQUATION IN REFLECTION PREDICTS WITH GOOD PRECISION THE ANGULAR POSITIONS OF THE ORDERS OF A FINITE GRATING; THE ANGULAR POSITIONS OF THESE ORDERS ARE INDEPENDENTS OF THE BEAM WIDTH, THE SPOT POSITION ON THE FINITE
