A SiO2/Si concave diffraction grating(period: 1.3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) for the angular dispersive element of WDM was fabricated by sandwiching the SiO2/Si plane diffraction grating between a slab waveguide and a cylindrical concave block. Using this concave grating and input/output fiber, and wavelength division demultiplexer was composed. The demultiplexer has five channels, the insertion loss of 30dB, the wavelength spacing per channel of 7nm and crosstalk of-15dB.

In this paper, we investigated the selective etching rate of amorphous As-Ge-Se-S thin film due to the photoexpansion effect and fabricated the 2-dimensional embossing type diffraction grating hologram. We measured the thickness change with the etching time among NaOH solution after forming 1-dimension diffraction grating. As a results, we found that the selective etching rate were $2.5\AA/s,\;3.3\AA/s,\;3.9\AA/s$ where NaOH solution concentration were 0.26N, 0.33N, 0.36N, respectively. Also after the formation of 2-dimensional diffraction grating by the $90^{\circ}$ degree of circulation on the formed 1-dimensional diffraction grating, we etched selectively during 60sec, among 0.26N NaOH solution and obtained 2-dimensional embossing diffraction grating. As the results of AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy), we confirmed the formation of distinct embossing type 2-dimensional diffraction grating hologram, successfully.

The possibility of replacing the condensing-prism film used in conventional backlight units with a light-guide plate engraved with a submicrometer-periodic diffraction grating was investigated. The optimal period for the diffraction grating was determined through simulation and experiment, and the transmission-mode efficiency of the diffraction grating was calculated in terms of the polar angle and azimuthal angle of the incident light. In addition, the effects of the two methods of optimizing the polar angle and the directional angle were compared by simulation, by suggesting the shape and configuration of the light-guide plate, so that more light could be extracted by diffraction. By using a ray-tracing program, the luminance angular distribution of the light-guide plate engraved with the diffraction grating was calculated and compared to the luminance angular distribution for each actual prototype.

We fabricate a polarization-independent dielectric multilayer thin-film diffraction grating for a spectral-beam-combining (SBC) system with a simple grating structure and low aspect ratio. Due to the refractive index and thickness error of the manufactured thin films, the diffraction efficiency of the fabricated diffraction grating was lower than that of the design. The causes of the errors were analyzed, and it was confirmed through simulation that diffraction efficiency could be compensated through an additional coating on the manufactured diffraction grating. As a result of sputtering an additional Ta₂O₅ layer on a fabricated diffraction grating, the diffraction efficiency was corrected and a maximum 91.7% of polarization-independent diffraction efficiency was obtained.

In this paper, we introduced the BQBPH method for making the grating of high efficiency which was improtant in implementing optical PS. The pattern of graing was obtianed by computer simulations using iterative method, and the diffraction efficeincy of designed grating was about 67% through BPM simulation. The grating was fabricated by laser beam writer, and the diffraction efficiency BPM simulation. The grating was fabricated by laser beam writer, and the diffraction efficiency was 47%. We implemented the optical PS with the grating and showed that optical experimental output patterns were good agreement with PS output patterns and first order was main diffraction order.

In this paper, we investigated the diffraction grating efficiency on AsSeS and Ag-doped amorphous chalcogenide Ag/AsSeS thin film for used to volume hologram. The film thickness was 0.5um and diffraction efficiency was obtained from (P:P) polarized He-Ne (632.8nm)laser beam on AsSeS and Ag/AsSeS thin films. As a results, diffraction grating was not formed at AsSeS thin film but at Ag-doped AsSeS thin film, diffraction grating was formed well compare with the former.

We design a polarization-independent dielectric multilayer thin-film diffraction grating for a spectral-beam-combining (SBC) system with a simple grating structure and low aspect ratio. To maintain the high quality of the SBC beam, we propose a multilayer mirror structure in which the wavefront distortion due to stress accumulation is minimized. Moreover, to prevent light absorption from contamination, an optimized design to minimize the grating thickness was performed. The optimally designed diffraction grating has 99.36% diffraction efficiency for -1st-order polarization-independent light, for incidence at the Littrow angle and 1055-nm wavelength. It is confirmed that the designed diffraction grating has sufficient process margin to secure a polarization-independent diffraction efficiency of 96% or greater.

We present a novel concept of a phase-shifting diffraction-grating interferometer, which is intended for the optical testing of concave mirrors with high precision. The interferometer is configured with a single reflective diffraction grating, which performs multiple functions of beam splitting, beam recombination, and phase shifting. The reference and test wave fronts are generated by means of reflective diffraction at the focal plane of a microscope objective with large numerical aperture, which allows testing fast mirrors with low f-numbers. The fiber-optic confocal design is adopted for the microscope objective to focus a converging beam on the diffractive grating, which greatly reduces the alignment error between the focusing optics and the diffraction grating. Translating the grating provides phase shifting, which allows measurement of the figure errors of the test mirror to nanometer accuracy.

This paper discovers that we form holographic grating in AsGeSeS thin film. Holographic grating is not developed in the length of 10,20,40nm, while it is formed in the thin film of 80nm though it shows very low diffraction efficiency. On the contrary, holographic grating is established in every thin film of Ag(10nm)/AsGeSeS(10,20,40,80nm). Lattice in 10,20 nm thin film builds up, and immediately disappears. In the case of 40nm thin film, even if holographic grating is made up, it seems to have a low diffraction efficiency. Apart from 10,20,40nm, it shows the highest diffraction efficiency in the thin film of 80nm.
