Abstract:
A new type of sub-wavelength blazed diffractive optical element is proposed characterised by structures having a “pie-slice” form with sub-wavelength feature sizes in lateral direction making it more stable than binary blazed ones in 2D-arrangements like Fresnel lenses. Efficiency of laterally blazed gratings is superior to conventional blazed and comparable with binary blazed gratings. Key words: Diffractive optics, binary optics, sub-wavelength blaze structures
