Abstract

An experimental and numerical verification of profiles predicted by Cheo et al. [ J. Opt. Soc. Am. 67, 1686 ( 1977)] for simultaneous TE- and TM-blazed triangular groove gratings is given. Corrected values also presented. The experimental results at 35 GHz show an n = −1 order diffraction efficiency as high as 99.9% for both polarizations. The numerical results for scattering by a perfectly conducting strip with six corrugations show a diffraction efficiency of about 97%.
