Статья посвящена синтезу многослойных диэлектрических отражательных дифракционных решеток, с высокой эффективностью обеспечивающих спектральное сложение пучков с различной длиной волны в заданном дифракционном порядке. Приводятся результаты решения задачи синтеза многослойных диэлектрических дифракционных решеток, обеспечивающих спектральное сложение в первом или минус первом порядке дифракции. Кроме того, решается задача синтеза для таких решеток с учетом возможных технологических ограничений на высоту профиля (глубину травления). Решение задачи синтеза проводится путем минимизации зависящего от параметров решетки целевого функционала методом Нелдера-Мида. Решение прямой задачи на каждом шаге минимизации осуществляется при помощи комбинации неполного метода Галеркина и метода матриц рассеяния. The paper is devoted to the synthesis of multilayer dielectric reflection diffraction gratings providing high-efficiency spectral combining of the beams with different wavelengths in a given diffraction order. The results are presented for solving the synthesis problems for multilayer dielectric diffraction gratings providing spectral combining in the first or minus first diffraction order. Besides, the synthesis problem for such gratings is solved with account taken of possible technological constraints imposed by the height of the grating profile (etch depth). The solution of the synthesis problem is obtained by means of Nelder-Mead minimization of the merit function depending on the grating parameters. At each minimization step the direct problem is solved using a combination of the incomplete Galerkin method and scattering matrix method.

A holographic device characterised by a large angular range of operation is under development. The aim of this study is to increase the angular working range of the diffractive lens by stacking three layers of high efficiency optical elements on top of each other so that light is collected (and focussed) from a broader range of angles. The angular range of each individual lens element is important, and work has already been done in an acrylamide-based photosensitive polymer to broaden the angular range of individual elements using holographic recording at a low spatial frequency. This paper reports new results on the angular selectivity of stacked diffractive lenses. A working range of 12° is achieved. The diffractive focussing elements were recorded holographically with a central spatial frequency of 300 l/mm using exposure energy of 60 mJ/cm2at a range of recording angles. At this spatial frequency with layers of thickness 50 ± 5 µm, a diffraction efficiency of 80% and 50% was achieved in the single lens element and combined device, respectively. The optical recording process and the properties of the multilayer structure are described and discussed. Holographic recording of a single lens element is also successfully demonstrated on a flexible glass substrate (Corning(R) Willow(R) Glass) for the first time.
