20. Whereas the method developed in ref. [7] requires the existence of a direction of translational symmetry (so as to allow for the definition of field polarizations conserved in the scattering by the surfaces), our approach allows for the calculation in a geometry with no such symmetry, such as the rotated corrugated plates, because the approach explicitly takes into account the coupling between different polarizations.
