Abstract

The diffraction efficiency of smooth weak gratings can depend significantly on the profile of the gratings as, in the diffraction process there exists wave coupling. By adjusting the grating profile it is possible to obtain enhancement or suppression of the diffraction efficiency. Possible applications include improvements in grating devices, grating profile reconstruction, and precise control of the slightest periodical disturbances. Some numerical examples are given.
