Double Floquet-Bloch transforms and the far-field asymptotics of Green's functions tailored to periodic structures

Abstract

We propose a general procedure to study double integrals arising when considering wave propagation in periodic structures. This method, based on a complex deformation of the integration surface to bypass the integrands' singularities, is particularly efficient to estimate the Green's functions of such structures in the far field. We provide several illustrative examples and explicit asymptotic formulas. Special attention is devoted to the pathological cases of degeneracies, such as Dirac conical points.
