Artificial dielectric optical structures: A challenge for nanofabrication

1998

Diffractive optical components can be made using multiple level kinoforms or single level artificial dielectric structures. The latter require the fabrication of pillars of equal depth but differing width and spacing. As a demonstration device, the diffractive optic equivalent of a wedge has been made in GaAs for use at 1.15 μm. The need for all pillars to have the same height was met by using a selective etch and a very thin etch-stop layer on AlGaAs. The experimental diffraction efficiency was 87.8%, among the best ever obtained and close to the theoretical maximum of 97.6%. © 1998 American Vacuum Society.

Fabrication of Diffractive Optics: Surface Reliefs and Artificial Dielectrics

1997

After a period of fundamental theoretical research, the field of diffractive optics is now reaching a time of assessment, when we can define the useful limits of each design procedure. Selecting a suitable procedure derives from a compromise between several factors, including design time, desired optical efficiency, and precision. A major consideration in finding such a compromise has been, and still is today, the availability of technologies which can realize the design by generating the diffracting structure with assigned tolerances.
