The results indicate that the diffracted intensity distributions in the spectral and temporal domains and the diffraction efficiency of the grating are both changed by the polarization state and spectral bandwidth of the input pulsed beam. A method is given of choosing the grating parameters and input conditions to obtain a large variation range of the spectral bandwidth of the diffracted pulsed beam with an appropriate diffraction efficiency. Our study presents a possibility of using a volume holographic grating recorded in anisotropic materials to shape a broadband ultrashort pulsed beam by modulating its polarization state.展开更多

The formula about the magnitude and directional angle of grating vector in arbitrary position of volume holographic grating with curved grating has been deduced. We found that the wavelength selectivity and angular selectivity may be different in different position of volume holographic curved stripe grating which depend on the angle between the propagation vector of reference beam and signal beam. The larger the angle, the greater the angle and wavelength selectivity, whereas the weaker.展开更多

This kind of grating could be fabricated by chemical methods, thus simplifying the fab-rication technology of subwavelength gratings for visible light. By computer simulation and calculation, the hemi-spherical grid subwavelength gratings are proved to have antireflective characteristics. Two design schemes of this kind of grating are presented. In the first scheme, the grating could achieve a reflectivity as low as 3.4416×10?7, which can be adapted to 0.46―0.7 μm of visible waveband and ±12° incident angle field. In the second scheme, the grating can achieve a reflectivity as low as 3.112×10?4 and adapted to the whole visible waveband and ±23° incident angle field. The application field of the latter scheme is wider than that of the former. The results of this paper could provide reference for the applications of the hemispherical grid subwavelength gratings for the visible waveband.展开更多
