Corrugated diffraction gratings in uniaxial crystals

We present a rigorous electromagnetic approach to wave diffraction by corrugated gratings made of uniaxial crystals. The optic axis of the anisotropic medium is assumed to lie on the mean surface of the grating, inclined at an arbitrary angle with respect to the grooves. The diffraction problem is e...
