    Summary: We consider the inverse problem of recovering a two-dimensional perfectly reflecting diffraction grating from scattered waves measured above the structure. We establish the uniqueness within the class of general polygonal grating profiles by a minimal number of incoming plane waves, without excluding Rayleigh frequencies and further geometric constraints on the profile. This extends and improves the uniqueness results of \textit{J. Elschner, G. Schmidt} and \textit{M. Yamamoto} [Inverse Probl. 19, 779--787 (2003; Zbl 1121.78325)].
