Rigorous Coupled-wave Analysis

Rigorous Coupled-Wave Analysis is a first-principles electromagnetic modeling method that solves Maxwell’s equations for periodic dielectric structures by expanding the electromagnetic fields and dielectric permittivity into spatial Fourier harmonics and applying boundary conditions to rigorously determine diffraction efficiencies and modal coupling in photonic device simulations.
