Total absorption of light by gratings in grazing incidence: a connection in the complex plane with other types of anomaly

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

An explanation is given for the effect of total absorption of light in grazing incidence by a sinusoidal grating, recently reported by us. The behavior of the zeros of both the first and the zeroth diffraction orders is studied numerically in the complex α plane. A link between the grating anomaly, non-Littrow perfect blazing, and plasmon excitation in relief metallic gratings is established. A total analysis of the behavior of the zeroth-order zero in grazing incidence is carried out, including groove depth, wavelength, and profile dependences.
