Open source models for the parametric study of diffraction gratings in 2D/2.5D/3D with ONELAB/Gmsh/GetDP

This document aims at presenting both theoretical and practical aspects of the grating2D.pro and grating3D.pro [1] ONELAB [2] models. The 2D model grating2D.pro applies to so-called mono-dimensional gratings, i.e. structures having one direction of invariance. Various geometries and materials can be handled or easily added. The two classical scalar polarization cases, denoted here E// and H//, are addressed as well as the conical vector case. The output consists in a full energy balance of the problem computed from the field maps. The 3D vector model grating3D.pro applies to crossed-gratings. These models are based on free the open source software Gmsh, GetDP and their interface ONELAB. [1] https://gitlab.onelab.info/doc/models/-/wikis/Diffraction-gratings [2] https://onelab.info
