(Electromagnetic scattering by gratings and random rough surfaces : implementation of high performance algorithms for solving eigenvalue problems and problems with initial conditions)

Abstract: We study the electromagnetic diffraction by gratings and random rough surfaces. The C-method is an exact method developed for this aim. It is based on Maxwell’s equations under covariant form written in a nonorthogonal coordinate system. The C-method leads to an eigenvalue problem, the solution of which gives the diffracted field.We focus on the numerical aspect of the C-method, trying to develop an efficient application of this exact method. For gratings, we have developed a new version of C-method which leads to a differential system with initial conditions. This new version of C-method can be used to study multilayer gratings with homogeneous medium.We implemented high performance algorithms to the original versions of C-method. Especially, we have developed a specifically designed parallel QR algorithm for the C- method and spectral projection method to solve the eigenvalue problem more efficiently. Experiments have shown that the computation time can be reduced significantly.
