VarRCWA: An Adaptive High-Order Rigorous Coupled Wave Analysis Method. [PDF]
Semi-analytical methods, such as rigorous coupled wave analysis, have been pivotal for numerical analysis of photonic structures. In comparison to other methods, they offer much faster computation, especially for structures with constant cross-sectional shapes (such as metasurface units). However, when the cross-sectional shape varies even mildly (such

Rigorous coupled-wave analysis of antireflective surface-relief gratings [PDF]
Rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA) with a simplified eigenvalue problem is used to investigate the an-tireflective property of one-dimensional surface-relief gratings such as binary gratings, triangular gratings and gratings with triangle-like surface profiles. The convergence of RCWA is investigated by varying the number of layers and the number of
