    Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) is a powerful numerical method for simulating diffraction gratings using OptiFDTD software. OptiFDTD allows users to design different types of grating layouts using periodic boundary conditions or a script. The software simulates the near field pattern to understand light propagation and performs far field transforms to analyze diffraction efficiency. This enables optimization of grating parameters and exploration of diffraction devices.

    Simulation Description

    In optics, a diffraction grating is an optical component


    with a periodic structure, which splits and diffracts light
    into several beams traveling in different directions. There
    are two ways to design the periodic structure with
    OptiFDTD : The PBG editor enables us to design an
    arbitrary periodic lattice in 1D, 2D or 3D and Visual Basic
    scripting which allows us to code the periodic relation and
    element shapes.

    OptiFDTD provides several shapes to fill in the grating


    elements. After we finish the layout creation, the next
    step is to set the incident wave properties: A time
    domain incident wave can be either a CW wave or a
    laser pulse which covers a relatively broad band. The
    user can also select a transverse beam pattern that can
    be a waveguide modal field, Gaussian beam, plane wave
    or user defined wave with various polarization properties.

    The third step is to set the output field detector by which


    we can observe the near field pattern and perform the Based on the near field properties, the far field
    far-field analysis. Other simulation parameters and transform tool is provided within the OptiFDTD software.
    boundary conditions can be manually or automatically The diffraction field angle and efficiency can then be
    set. evaluated from the far-field pattern.

    Below is a dynamic near field pattern for a silver binary


    grating at different incident angles.

    After the simulation, a steady state near field can also be


    observed in the field detector.
