Abstract
Rigorous Coupled Wave Analysis was applied for simulation of effective refraction and birefringence coefficients for dielectric subwavelength gratings. As an example, the broadband quarter- and half-wave differential phase sections were calculated on the basis of dielectric grating in the range of 1.7…2.55 mm wavelength.
KEY WORDS:THz range, birefringence, dielectric grating, phase section
