29. The condition M ≥ 3 is required for Eq. (20) and the condition M ≥ 4 is required for Eq. (49). For this reason the result Eq. (57) is correct for M ≥ 4. If M ≥ 3, Δψ depends on φxs because the term of q -1 is not negligible in Eq. (47).
30. We assumed that the distribution of intensity from each groove is roughly represented as a Gaussian function of a standard deviation of σs. Then the full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of it is approximately given by 2.35σs.
