Explore how waves interact with gratings and cylinders to produce complex scattering patterns.

This rigorous treatment explains the full solution for a finite grating of identical cylinders, accounting for all orders of multiple scattering and end effects.

The book presents a clear path from early single-scattering ideas to a complete, explicit solution that matches boundary conditions across the grating. It connects theory to phenomena such as grating anomalies and the influence of geometry, material properties, and polarization on observed intensities.

Learn how a plane wave interacts with a finite array of parallel cylinders and how multiple scattering builds up from successive orders.
See how end effects and spacing influence the angular and spectral distribution of scattered waves.
Understand how the theory extends to noncylindrical elements and different polarization configurations.
Explore the interpretation of grating anomalies and the factors that maximize or minimize scattering features.

Ideal for readers of advanced optics, acoustics, and electromagnetics who want a mathematically grounded view of grating scattering and its practical implications.
