We will consider two dimensional periodic structures with the
homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition. We discuss the
determination of shapes of structures by near-field observations of the
scattered fields generated by incident plane waves.
Then the governing equation of the scattered field is
the Helmholtz equation and we attach also quasiperiodicity
and a radation condition to a solution.

We consider the Lipschitz curves as well as smooth
ones as periodic structures
and consider the determination of the curve by a finite
number of incident waves.

Our main results are
(i) uniqueness in the determination within piecewise
linear curves.

(ii) conditional stability in determination.

(iii) reconstruction by a nonlinear optimization
problem.
