The Fourier modal method (FMM) is a method for efficiently solving Maxwell equations with periodic boundary conditions. In a recent paper [1] the extension of the FMM to non‐periodic structures has been demonstrated for a simple two‐dimensional rectangular scatterer illuminated by TE‐polarized light with a wavevector normal to the third (invariant) dimension. In this paper we present a generalized version of the aperiodic Fourier modal method in contrast‐field formulation (aFMM‐CFF) which allows arbitrary profiles of the scatterer as well as arbitrary angles of incidence of light.
