Hybridization of the rigorous coupled-wave approach with transformation optics for electromagnetic scattering by a surface-relief grating

We hybridized the rigorous coupled-wave approach (RCWA) with transformation optics to develop a hybrid coordinate-transform method for solving the time-harmonic Maxwell equations in a 2D domain containing a surface-relief grating. In order to prove that this method converges for the p-polarization state, we studied several different but related scattering problems. The imposition of generalized non-trapping conditions allowed us to prove a-priori estimates for these problems. To do this, we proved a Rellich identity and used density arguments to extend the estimates to more general problems. These a-priori estimates were then used to analyze the hybrid method. We obtained convergence rates with respect to two different parameters, the first being a slice thickness indicative of spatial discretization in the depth dimension, the second being the number of terms retained in the Rayleigh-Bloch expansions of the electric and magnetic field phasors with respect to the other dimension. Testing with a numerical example revealed faster convergence than our analysis predicted. The hybrid method does not suffer from the Gibbs phenomenon seen with the standard RCWA.
