| contents | The Rayleigh expansion is widely used as a formal radiation condition in the analysis and numerical treatment of grating diffraction problems for incoming plane waves. However, the Rayleigh expansion does not always lead to uniqueness of open waveguide scattering problems, due to the existence of surface/guided waves (in other words, Bound States in the Continuum (BICs)) which exponentially decay in the direction perpendicular to the periodicity. In this paper we suppose that a bi-periodic inhomogeneous medium supports BICs at some real-valued incident wavenumber. Based on singular perturbation arguments, we justify the Limiting Absorption Principle (LAP) for both time-harmonic acoustic and electromagnetic scattering of plane waves from bi-periodic structures. Replacing the wavenumber $k$ with $k+iε$, we prove that the unique solution with $ε>0$ converges to a solution of the original diffraction problem that additionally satisfies an orthogonal identity. This constraint condition together with the classical Rayleigh expansion leads to a sharp radiation condition to ensure uniqueness of time-harmonic scattering of plane waves by BIC-supporting bi-periodic materials. |
