Simple and intuitive principle is put forward to analyze the grating diffraction problem and to describe the polarization properties of diffraction orders. The method is applicable for any state of polarization of the input plane wave, including partially polarized or unpolarized fields.
Key words: Diffraction gratings / grating theory / polarization
