Abstract
Considering the diffraction of a plane wave by a periodically corrugated half-space, we show that the transformation of the refracting medium from positive/negative phase-velocity to negative/positive phase-velocity type has an influence on the diffraction efficiencies. This effect increases with increasing corrugation depth, owing to the presence of evanescent waves in the troughs of the corrugated interface.
