High-frequency gratings with rectangular-groove profiles are used to generate high-efficiency beam splitters and beam deflectors. The effects of the grating design parameters, i.e., period, groove depth, duty cycle, number of phase levels, and polarization state (TE and TM) of the incoming signal, are considered. The case of the binary beam splitter grating is analyzed by using rigorous electromagnetic grating analysis. Fabrication techniques are presented in which three different lithographic techniques are considered (optical contact, deep-UV stepper reduction, and electron-beam direct write). Experimental results of 97% efficiency for the beam splitter grating and up to 80% for the beam deflector grating are reported.

Directional emission sources are required in wide application scenarios such as 3D displays and optical communication. The integration of beam deflection metasurfaces on emission devices can construct a compact directional emission source. However, most reported metasurfaces and metagratings focus on the deflection of linear polarized light with relatively small angles(< 30 degrees), which limits their further application for unpolarized light sources.

A fused-silica three-port grating under TE-polarized normal incidence is designed and manufactured with improved diffraction efficiency (DE) and bandwidth. A physical explanation of the grating diffraction is provided using the simplified mode method (SMM), and parameters of the grating structure were optimized using rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA). For a given set of optimized parameters, a transmitted three-port grating with an area of 170 ×170 was fabricated by scanning beam interference lithography (SBIL), and diffraction properties were investigated.

Antimonide laser diodes, with their high performance above room temperature, exhibit significant potential for widespread applications in the mid-infrared spectral region. However, the laser's performance significantly degrades as the emission wavelength increases, primarily due to severe quantum-well hole leakage and significant non-radiative recombination. In this paper, we put up an active region with a high valence band offset and excellent crystalline quality with high luminescence to improve the laser's performance.

Grating under auto-collimation configuration with polarization-independent high diffraction efficiency plays an important role in the displacement measurement system, spectral beam combining system and so on. In this paper, we proposed, for the first time, a reflective two-dimensional metal-dielectric grating of which the (-1, -1) order beam is diffracted back along the input light direction, when the incident azimuth angle is 45°. With optimized structure, the (-1, -1) order diffraction efficiencies of transverse electric polarization (TE) and transverse magnetic polarization (TM) are 95.
