Components of Grating Toolbox

The Grating Toolbox includes both surface and index-modulated gratings. The fundamental surface gratings include sinusoidal, rectangular, triangular and saw-tooth gratings. The additional customized surface grating permits you to specify any type of surface with sampled data. Likewise, the toolbox features a customized index-modulated grating. A holographic volume grating is also included, which allows you to specify a volume grating with multiple interference plane waves. Each grating component offers you a selection of suitable propagation techniques.
