Application of the differential method to diffraction gratings that utilize total internal reflection facets

Integrated optical grating devices with facets designed to take advantage of total internal reflection have recently been demonstrated. To date, analysis of these total internal reflection (TIR) gratings has been limited to an elementary ray optics approach. This thesis presents the first analysis o...
