Abstract

Diffraction grating is widely used in a variety of applications, and the grating must have good quality. In various methods of making large-sized gratings, laser direct writing has obvious advantages. Our research group uses the parallel direct laser writing technology to produce a sinusoidal grating with a size of 100×100mm and line number of 1780 per millimeter. Firstly, the grating is analyzed theoretically to find a groove depth where the sinusoidal grating can reach its highest efficiency, then the grating is produced by laser direct writing and finally coated with a layer of gold. In this paper, we introduce the fabrication and efficiency measurement of grating, and estimate its uniformity. We get 16×16 data points which is divided into 4×3 area from the measurement. For each small area, the efficiency is measured and processed by software, obtaining the efficiency distribution diagram. Most efficiencies are around 90%, which is close to the theoretical calculation. Meanwhile, the efficiency distribution is uniform. Experimental results demonstrated that the developed parallel direct laser writing technology is feasible for writing large-size grating.
