Summary
How can periodic gratings and active dipole layers share a model that handles incoherent processes?
Combines RCWA, scattering matrices and coherence-transforming matrices, with separate demonstrations for gratings and dipole layers.
Provides a route to replacing random-phase averaging with matrix operations.

Commentary
The thesis identifies full integration, two-dimensional extensions and experimental validation as future work.
The later 2024 paper is the closest continuation; modern source-integration and optimization papers address adjacent bottlenecks.
