We use a planar linear grating with varied line-space grooves to introduce a tailored one-dimensional phase variation profile that results in an aberrated point-spread function at the focal plane. A design procedure for the period chirp map for such gratings is developed. As an example, we present theoretical and experimental results on a mechanically ruled, varied line-space echelle grating in single-mode fiber-coupled optical multiplexers in the wavelength region of 1545 nm. The varied line-space grating changes the multiplexer's Gaussian spectral response function to a flat-top dependence with reduced sensitivity to source laser wavelength drift.

We describe a beamline where few-femtosecond ultraviolet (UV) pulses are generated and synchronized to few-cycle near-infrared (NIR) and extreme ultraviolet (XUV) attosecond pulses. The UV light is obtained via third-harmonic generation in argon or neon gas when focusing a phase-stabilized NIR driving field inside a glass cell that was designed to support high pressures for enhanced conversion efficiency. A recirculation system allows reducing the large gas consumption required for the nonlinear process.

Wavelength scanning is performed by translating the VLS grating along its surface. The deviation angle is constant, and the source, input, and output slits are stationary.

- A new way to design a special recording system for making patterns called gratings is explained.
- This method uses a technique called ray-tracing to better create the shape of mirrors used in the system.
- It allows for different mirror shapes, which means it can make more accurate designs for the recording structures.
To fabricate plain holographic gratings with high wavefront quality and to obtain the wavefront required in varied line-space grating, an active control technology of a diffraction grating wavefront by modulating the phase distribution of the scanning-beam interference lithography system was proposed. Sinusoidal wavefront control is simulated, and the controlled wavefront being almost the same as the target wavefront. A photoresist grating was fabricated whose surface is uniform and the wavefront is ideally sinusoidal.
