Time-dependent Bragg diffraction bymultilayer gratings

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

The time-dependent Bragg diffraction by multilayer gratings working by reflection or by transmission is investigated. The study is performed by generalizing the time-dependent coupled-wave theory previously developed for one-dimensional photonic crystal [Andr{é} J-M and Jonnard P, J. Opt. 17, 085609 (2015)] and also by extending the Takagi-Taupin approach of the dynamical theory of diffraction. The indicial response is calculated. It presents a time-delay with a transient time that is a function of the extinction length for reflection geometry and of the extinction length combined with the thickness of the grating for transmission geometry.
