Theoretical Study of Laser-Induced Surface Excitations on a Grating.
Abstract
Laser-induced surface excitations on a grating are studied in terms of the solution to Maxwell's equations. A rigorous theory, derived originally for a lamellar grating, is used to study the resonance phenomenon for deep gratings. The generalization of the square-well grating to gratings of arbitrary shapes is examined numerically. A new diffraction anomaly is seen to occur when the grating depth is approximately equal to half of the wavelength of the incident laser radiation.
