Abstract

A near-perfect grating rhomb enables an output beam to be diffracted to an angle offset from the input beam. The correcting grating is tipped relative to the dispersing grating to provide the offset angle. The correcting grating is further provided with a groove spacing which differs from the dispersing grating groove space by an amount effective to substantially remove angular dispersion in the output beam. A near-perfect grating rhomb has the capability for selective placement in a FEL to suppress sideband instabilities arising from the FEL.

Symmetric out-of-plane configurations of diffractive gratings and method

Patent Link, Emily F.; Alessi, David A.; Haefner, Leon C.; ...

Grating pair architectures used for short pulse stretching, compression and pulse shaping are enabled for use at arbitrary use angles without inducing spatial frequency chirp. These symmetric out-of-plane diffractive grating arrangements are capable of adding or removing spatial, temporal and angular chirp at any incidence angle.

Optical sensor comprising diffraction gratings with functionalized pores and method of detecting analytes using the sensor

Patent Weiss, Sharon M.; Ryckman, Judson D.; Kang, Christopher; ...

Diffraction gratings comprising a substrate with protrusions extending therefrom. In one embodiment, the protrusions are made of a porous material, for example porous silicon with a porosity of greater than about 10%. The diffraction grating may also be constructed from multiple layers of porous material, for example porous silicon with a porosity of greater than about 10%, with protrusion of attached thereto. In some embodiments the protrusions may be made from photoresist or another polymeric material. The gratings are the basis for sensitive sensors. In some embodiments, the sensors are functionalized with selective binding species, to produce sensors that specificallymore »« less

System and technique for characterizing fluids using ultrasonic diffraction grating spectroscopy

Patent Greenwood, Margaret S [Richland, WA]

A system for determining property of multiphase fluids based on ultrasonic diffraction grating spectroscopy includes a diffraction grating on a solid in contact with the fluid. An interrogation device delivers ultrasound through the solid and a captures a reflection spectrum from the diffraction grating. The reflection spectrum exhibits peaks whose relative size depends on the properties of the various phases of the multiphase fluid. For example, for particles in a liquid, the peaks exhibit dependence on the particle size and the particle volume fraction. Where the exact relationship is know know a priori, data from different peaks of the samemore »« less

Ultra-high density diffraction grating

Patent Padmore, Howard A.; Voronov, Dmytro L.; Cambie, Rossana; ...

A diffraction grating structure having ultra-high density of grooves comprises an echellette substrate having periodically repeating recessed features, and a multi-layer stack of materials disposed on the echellette substrate. The surface of the diffraction grating is planarized, such that layers of the multi-layer stack form a plurality of lines disposed on the planarized surface of the structure in a periodical fashion, wherein lines having a first property alternate with lines having a dissimilar property on the surface of the substrate. For example, in one embodiment, lines comprising high-Z and low-Z materials alternate on the planarized surface providing a structure thatmore »« less

Durable silver thin film coating for diffraction gratings

Patent Wolfe, Jesse D [Discovery Bay, CA]; Britten, Jerald A [Oakley, CA]; Komashko, Aleksey M [San Diego, CA]

A durable silver film thin film coated non-planar optical element has been developed to replace Gold as a material for fabricating such devices. Such a coating and resultant optical element has an increased efficiency and is resistant to tarnishing, can be easily stripped and re-deposited without modifying underlying grating structure, improves the throughput and power loading of short pulse compressor designs for ultra-fast laser systems, and can be utilized in variety of optical and spectrophotometric systems, particularly high-end spectrometers that require maximized efficiency.
