Abstract
We propose a method for analyzing both theoretically and experimentally the behavior of the phase of the waves diffracted by gratings. The method is a pplied to the study of resonance phenomena. It is used for determining the optogeometrical parameters of a metallic grating. We show that the experime ntal setup, which is insensitive to mechanical drifts or thermal fluctuatio ns, can be used for sensing purposes. (C) 2001 Optical Society of America.
