Abstract

PhotonicsSHA-2D: Modeling of Single-Period Multilayer Optical Gratings and Metamaterials employs the 2-dimensional spatial harmonic analysis (2D SHA) method to model the optical responses of single-period multilayer gratings. The incident wave is a plane wave with arbitrary incident angles (with either TE or TM polarization), and the output results are the complex transmission and reflection coefficients for the zero diffraction order. The database of optical elemental materials stored in PhotonicsDB is integrated into this tool.
