Figure 2
Near-field energy density penetration inside the model nanograting (as shown in Fig. 1[link]) calculated at different configurations of the incident beam. (a) Incidence angle is critical and azimuthal angle is less than critical – the field does not penetrate deep inside the sample structure. (b) Incidence and azimuthal angles are critical – the field penetrates the sample even if the incident angle is relatively small. (c) Incident angle is higher than critical (at the position of crossing of −1st- and 1st-order diffraction lines) and beam is parallel to the grating lines – the field penetrates the sample. (d) Incident beam angle is higher than critical and beam is far from parallel to the grating – the field looks uniform in the in-plane direction, so the structured layer can be treated as a thin-film layer of average density.
