Abstract

This paper describes generalized grating imaging with equations based on geometrical optics and wave optics. It shows that the equation derived by wave optics agrees well with the description by geometrical optics. The derived equation based on wave optics can be used to deduce and calculate the intensity distribution of the grating image.
