The authors have designed and fabricated a 355 x 150 mm multilayer dielectric diffraction grating, 1800 l/mm for 1030 nm light, that exhibits >99% diffraction efficiency and a diffracted wavefront flatness of <0.15 {lambda}. This grating is an enabling component of a 1 ps, high rep-rate machining laser currently in operation at LLNL.
