Abstract
A fast simulation method for a waveguide-based concave grating with total-internal-reflection (TIR) facets is presented using the Kirchhoff–Huygens principle. Unlike the conventional scalar method, modifications are made to take into account the influence of the Goos–Hänchen (GH) shift. The simple method is in good agreement with a numerical method based on rigorous coupled-wave analysis for a wide range of practical device parameters and can provide an insightful physical explanation for the numerical results. It is shown that the GH shift is a main contributing factor for the loss and the polarization-dependent loss of an etched diffraction grating demultiplexer with TIR facets.
