In this work the impact of the fabrication non-idealities on the reflection features of dielectric high-contrast gratings (HCGs) is discussed. The grating performance is quantified considering the plane-wave scattering problem. This is solved by means of a novel full-wave simulator based on the mortar element method. The flexibility of this scheme is exploited to obtain a realistic model of a HCG. Several analyses aimed at evaluating the sensitivity of the device to the geometry parameters that are mostly affected by the fabrication process are presented.

Abstract
In this work the impact of the fabrication non-idealities on the reflection features of dielectric high-contrast gratings (HCGs) is discussed. The grating performance is quantified considering the plane-wave scattering problem. This is solved by means of a novel full-wave simulator based on the mortar element method. The flexibility of this scheme is exploited to obtain a realistic model of a HCG. Several analyses aimed at evaluating the sensitivity of the device to the geometry parameters that are mostly affected by the fabrication process are presented.File in questo prodotto:
