Abstract

This paper provides the mathematical foundation of analytic formulae for derivatives of TM reflection and transmission coefficients of diffraction gratings with respect to geometric parameters of non-smooth grating profiles and interfaces. This problem arises in optimal design problems for those optical devices studied in Part I. The derivatives can be expressed by contour integrals involving the direct and adjoint solutions of TM diffraction problems.
