Step-transition perturbation approach for pixel-structured nonparaxial diffractive elements

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

An extension of an approximate step-transition perturbation method is presented that permits numerically efficient diffraction analysis of pixel-structured surface profiles in the nonparaxial domain. Comparison with the rigorous diffraction theory of gratings shows that the method is reasonably accurate provided that the pixel size exceeds approximately two wavelengths even if the structure contains isolated pixels.
