Abstract

We use a rigorous vector Born series to solve electromagnetic scattering by a diffraction grating. To deal with possible divergence of the Born series, we compute Padé approximants of the Born series to retrieve the solution regardless. Besides results of the Born-Padé method for an example grating, for which the Born series diverges, we show analytical expressions for a two-layer grating in the case of s polarization. This gives insight into the convergence behavior of the Born series as function of the angle of incidence, for instance.
