VarRCWA: An Adaptive High-Order Rigorous Coupled Wave Analysis Method. [PDF]
ACS Photonics, 2022 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

Perturbation method for the Rigorous Coupled Wave Analysis of grating diffraction
Optics Express, 2010 The perturbation method is combined with the Rigorous CoupledWave Analysis (RCWA) to enhance its computational speed. In the original RCWA, a grating is approximated by a stack of lamellar gratings and the number of eigenvalue systems to be solved is equal to the number of subgratings. The perturbation method allows to derive the eigensolutions in many

Highly Efficient Rigorous Coupled-Wave Analysis Implementation Without Eigensystem Calculation
IEEE AccessThe Rigorous Coupled Wave Analysis (RCWA) method is commonly used to simulate diffractive optical devices, such as photonic crystal LEDs, solar cells, and gratings. Although commercial software is available, the simulation time for real devices can be many hours or even days. Therefore, it is necessary to accelerate the algorithm.

Stack of cellular lamellae forms a silvered cortex to conceal the opaque organ in a transparent gastropod in epipelagic habitat [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Background Gelatinous zooplankton in epipelagic environments often have highly transparent bodies to avoid detection by their visual predators and prey; however, the digestive systems are often exceptionally opaque even in these organisms.
