Documentation concerning KKP development work
Fabrication has been completed on a 16 level KPP on a 5-inch diameter aperture fused silica using lithographic techniques and wet etching of fused silica in a buffered hydrofluoric acid solution. The experimentally measured far-field intensity pattern displays the desired top-hat envelope and has a superimposed speckle on it. The far-field contains 90% of the incident energy inside the 640 {mu}m region. This is a significant improvement over the binary RPP`s in terms of the far-field profile control and energy concentration. Sources contributing to the energy loss are identified and efforts are underway to overcome these limitations.
