Wave Propagation through an Array of Slits

Optics 2015-06-23 v1

Abstract

Propagation of a wave through an array of slits is theoretically investigated. The asymptotic expansion of the matrix elements of the propagation operator is derived and compared with numerical calculations. And then the eigenmodes and eigenvalues of the propagation operator are estimated. Our analysis should provide an insight into the properties of waveguides composed of opaque masks that have been proposed recently.
