In this example, we compute the grating efficiency of a multilevel diffraction grating whose design is inspired by M. Oliva, T. Harzendorf, D. Michaelis, U. D. Zeitner, and A. Tünnermann, "Multilevel blazed gratings in resonance domain: an alternative to the classical fabrication approach," Opt. Express 19, 14735-14745 (2011), DOI: 10.1364/OE.19.014735.
Tidy3D uses a near field to far field transformation specialized to periodic structures to compute the grating efficiency and its accuracy is verified through a comparison with the semi-analytical rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA) approach using the open-source library grcwa.
Grating structures are ubiquitous in optics and photonics. In another case study, we investigated the possibility of using a grating structure as a biosensor.
If you are new to the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, we highly recommend going through our FDTD101 tutorials.

Normal incidence¶
We will first analyze the grating under normal incidence, as also studied in the paper. In this case, we can use periodic boundary conditions in both tangential directions.
Geometry setup¶
First, the structure and simulation geometry are defined. The structure includes a dielectric substrate with two dielectric patterned layers.
[2]:
# Grating parameters (all lengths in um)
index = 1.46847
period = 1.866
width_layer1 = 0.519
width_layer2 = 1.202
height_layer1 = 0.333
height_layer2 = 0.281
# free space central wavelength
wavelength = 0.416
# Simulation domain geometry
space_above = wavelength * 3
height_substrate = wavelength * 3
space_below = wavelength * 3
# Define a buffer to make sure objects extend past the simulation boundary
buffer = 0.1
# Simulation domain along x and z
length_x = period
length_z = space_below + height_substrate + height_layer1 + height_layer2 + space_above
# Define the medium
grating_medium = td.Medium(permittivity=index**2)
# Create the substrate
substrate = td.Structure(
geometry=td.Box(
center=[0, 0, -length_z / 2 + height_substrate / 2 + space_below],
size=[td.inf, td.inf, height_substrate],
),
medium=grating_medium,
)
# Level 1 grating
center_L1 = [
-buffer / 2 - length_x / 2 + width_layer1 / 2 + width_layer2 / 2,
0,
-length_z / 2 + space_below + height_substrate + height_layer2 / 2,
]
size_L1 = [width_layer1 + width_layer2 + buffer, td.inf, height_layer2]
grating_L1 = td.Structure(
geometry=td.Box(center=center_L1, size=size_L1),
medium=grating_medium,
)
# Level 2 grating
center_L2 = [
-buffer / 2 - length_x / 2 + width_layer1 / 2,
0,
-length_z / 2 + space_below + height_substrate + height_layer2 + height_layer1 / 2,
]
size_L2 = [width_layer1 + buffer, td.inf, height_layer1]
grating_L2 = td.Structure(
geometry=td.Box(center=center_L2, size=size_L2),
medium=grating_medium,
)
# Collect all structures
structures = [substrate, grating_L1, grating_L2]
Source setup¶
Next, define the source plane wave impinging from above the grating at normal incidence.
[3]:
# Central frequency in Hz
f0 = td.C_0 / wavelength
# Bandwidth
fwidth = f0 / 40.0
# Run time
run_time = 100 / fwidth
# Time dependence of source
gaussian = td.GaussianPulse(freq0=f0, fwidth=fwidth)
# Source
src_z = length_z / 2 - space_above / 2
angle_theta = np.pi / 10
source = td.PlaneWave(
center=(0, 0, src_z),
size=(td.inf, td.inf, 0),
source_time=gaussian,
direction="-",
pol_angle=0,
angle_theta=0,
angle_phi=0,
)
Monitor setup¶
Here, we'll set up a field monitor to record and plot the frequency domain fields at a plane in the xz cross-section. We'll also set up two DiffractionMonitor, one for reflection, and the other for transmission.
[4]:
# Fields
monitor_xz = td.FieldMonitor(
center=[0, 0, 0], size=[td.inf, 0, td.inf], freqs=[f0], name="field_xz"
)
# The allowed orders will be computed automatically and returned as part of the results
monitor_r = td.DiffractionMonitor(
center=[0.0, 0.0, length_z / 2 - wavelength],
size=[td.inf, td.inf, 0],
freqs=[f0],
name="reflection",
normal_dir="+",
)
monitor_t = td.DiffractionMonitor(
center=[0.0, 0.0, -length_z / 2 + wavelength],
size=[td.inf, td.inf, 0],
freqs=[f0],
name="transmission",
normal_dir="-",
)
monitors = [monitor_xz, monitor_r, monitor_t]
[13:01:10] WARNING: Default value for the field monitor monitor.py:261 'colocate' setting has changed to 'True' in Tidy3D 2.4.0. All field components will be colocated to the grid boundaries. Set to 'False' to get the raw fields on the Yee grid instead.
Set up boundary conditions and initialize simualtion¶
For normal incidence, we can use periodic boundary conditions along the x and y directions. More generally, we need to use Bloch boundary conditions as will be illustrated below. We can also use Bloch boundaries with zero Bloch vector for normal incidence, but a simulation with Bloch boundaries uses complex fields and is twice more computationally expensive than a simulation with periodic boundaries, while the results for bloch_vec = 0 are equivalent.
Along z, a perfectly matched layer (PML) is applied to mimic an infinite domain. Because the diffraction grating introduces waves propagating at various angles, including steep angles with respect to the PML boundary, we use more layers than the default value to minimize spurious reflections at the PMLs.
[5]:
# Simulation size
length_y = 0 # grating is translationally invariant along y
sim_size = (length_x, length_y, length_z)
# Resolution
min_steps_per_wvl = 60
# Boundaries
num_pml_layers = 40
boundary_spec = td.BoundarySpec(
x=td.Boundary.periodic(),
y=td.Boundary.periodic(),
z=td.Boundary(
minus=td.PML(num_layers=num_pml_layers), plus=td.PML(num_layers=num_pml_layers)
),
)
# Simulation
simulation = td.Simulation(
size=sim_size,
grid_spec=td.GridSpec.auto(min_steps_per_wvl=min_steps_per_wvl),
structures=structures,
sources=[source],
monitors=monitors,
run_time=run_time,
boundary_spec=boundary_spec,
)
fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 1, figsize=(5, 8))
simulation.plot(y=0, ax=ax)
plt.show()
Run simulation¶

sim_data = web.run(

Diffraction data¶
Now we can extract the diffracted power from the output data structures and verfify that the sum across all reflection and transmission orders is close to 1. We can also access the diffraction angles and the complex power amplitudes for each order and polarization.
[7]:
data_r = sim_data["reflection"]

theta = data_t.angles[0].squeeze(drop=True).values

Plot and compare diffracted power¶
Since this is essentially a 1D grating along x, we'll plot the power, which is normalized and corresponds to the grating efficiency, as a function of x for order 0 in y. The results are in excellent agreement with each other.

Plot and compare power amplitudes¶
We can also compare the transmitted complex power amplitude for each order and each polarization to those obtained via the grcwa package. The power amplitudes are complex and provide information about the phase difference among different orders.
Note that grcwa returns fields in Cartesian coordinates, while Tidy3D returns power amplitudes in the s and p polarization basis. Therefore, we will use some convenience methods to convert grcwa's fields to spherical coordinates before comparing the two solvers.

Off-normal incidence¶
To study a diffraction grating under an angled illumination, we need to use Bloch boundary conditions along the x and y directions that match the incoming wave. The Bloch vector can be automatically computed based on the plane wave parameters, as shown below.
If the illumination is such that the angle is non-zero along y, a slightly special treatment is required in that we cannot set the simulation size to zero in that direction anymore. Instead we should define the simulation length to be a small finite value, and set the mesh step in that direction to the same value.

We still used a P-polarized source (pol_angle = 0 in the source defition), but now we also get nonzero polarization = "s" amplitudes in the data. This is because the input polarization is at an angle with respect to the x-axis, and is not preserved by the translational invariance along y. Similarly, now there is a nonzero Ey field component in the recorded near fields.

Comparison to RCWA¶
We can also compare to RCWA results as before. Note that, because we are injecting backwards, we need to add an np.pi to angle_theta in the grcwa computation.
