Abstract

A general property of diffraction gratings is established numerically: at a certain values of the groovedepth a grating supporting only two orders acts like a plane mirror—the efficiency of the non-specular order does not exceed 0.1% in a large angular region. This property is shown to be a direct consequence of the reciprocity theorem.
