Abstract

Theoretical work of our group is placed in the general frame of efforts to improve numerical performance and efficiency of rigorous coupled-wave analysis of grating diffraction. Mathematical transformation of Maxwell equations for a multi-layered structure to evolution equations in functional space is presented. By-construction numerically stable symbolic algorithm to solve these equations using the notion of in-layer scattering operator is proposed. On the base of this algorithm a toolbox for simulation of diffraction from multi-layered grating structures, implemented by a graphical user interface is developed. An example of simulation using this in-house software is exposed.
