We investigate the spectral and angular response of a passive tilted-gratin
g structure (TGS) in the frame of a first-order coupled-wave formalism. Its
resonance modes can be understood as resulting from a competition between
those of the main Fabry-Perot (FP) resonator and those of the tilted gratin
g, Due to the structural non-reciprocity provided by the latter, resonance
modes of the whole cavity appear highly sensitive to the internal angle.
