This book delves into the complex world of wave scattering, specifically focusing on the phenomenon of multiple scattering by gratings composed of parallel cylinders. The author meticulously examines the historical progression of this topic, starting from the simplistic single scattering hypothesis and progressing towards a more comprehensive understanding that incorporates the intricate interplay of multiple scattering events. The book explores the limitations of earlier theories, such as those proposed by Schaefer, Reiche, and Rayleigh, and unveils the conditions under which these approximations fail to accurately predict the observed scattering behavior. The author introduces a novel approach that explicitly accounts for the multiple excitations of each cylinder within the grating, leading to a more precise characterization of the scattered wave field. Through a combination of rigorous mathematical analysis and insightful physical interpretations, the book unveils the existence of "maximal effects" ââ â specific wavelengths at which the impact of multiple scattering is most pronounced. These effects manifest as striking anomalies in the scattered intensity, deviating significantly from the predictions of single scattering theory. The author meticulously dissects the factors influencing these anomalies, including the physical properties of the grating elements, the spacing between them, and the angle of incidence of the illuminating wave. In essence, this book provides a groundbreaking exploration of multiple scattering phenomena in gratings, offering valuable insights into the intricate wave interactions that govern these systems. The author's rigorous analysis and lucid explanations shed light on the limitations of classical theories and pave the way for a deeper understanding of wave behavior in complex environments.
