Gratings are typical diffractive optics with equally spaced parallel periodic surface microgrooves. Diffraction/interference splits light according to wavelength/angle for dispersion, equal multichannel intensity division, and angular steering. Modulation type distinguishes phase and amplitude gratings. Definition: phase gratings periodically modulate phase rather than absorb intensity and are a mainstream high-efficiency grating type. Unlike amplitude gratings, they have almost no absorptive loss. Varying etched thickness periodically changes transmitted/reflected phase, concentrating most energy into selected orders for very high efficiency; see schematic. Key parameters: 1. Diffraction efficiency, the fraction of incident energy in useful orders, is the core performance measure. 2. Operating wavelength, typically designed for visible/near IR and selected for actual application conditions. 3. Period, the distance between adjacent lines, determines diffraction angle/splitting. The referenced formula is absent; d denotes period, an unlabeled quantity diffraction angle, k diffraction order, and another unlabeled quantity incident laser wavelength. 4. Phase depth determines modulation capability; groove depth controls order-energy distribution and must be tightly managed. Its referenced formula is absent; n denotes substrate index, an unlabeled quantity vacuum wavelength, h height difference, and common target phase differences are π and 2π. 5. Spectral resolution distinguishes small wavelength differences; the source states smaller periods improve resolution. 6. Surface uniformity means consistent depth/period across the grating for stable uniform output. Principle: optical-path difference is central. Light traversing raised/recessed regions experiences different physical paths and phase delays. Far-field interference redistributes energy into orders rather than absorbing it. Manufacturing/customization: phase gratings are core independently developed precision micro/nano optics. The company describes years of fabrication experience and a strong engineering team in design, fabrication, and inspection with extensive DOE practice. An integrated lithography/dry-etching platform independently controls simulation, parameter optimization, precision patterning/etching, and final inspection without external technology or outsourcing. Different product types/microstructures are customized. Laser bands, splitting angles, spectral-resolution requirements, installation space, and conditions guide period, etch-depth, aperture, and substrate selection. Transmissive, reflective, and blazed phase gratings can all be made precisely. Optimization improves diffraction efficiency/utilization and suppresses stray scattering/higher-order interference for stable systems and accurate detection. Applications include spectroscopy, spectral splitting/inspection, laser shaping, precision metrology, and modulation. Flexible delivery serves small nonstandard university/research prototypes and advanced experiments as well as standardized industrial batches. Every grating undergoes full item-by-item checks of period accuracy, full-field etch uniformity, diffractive performance, spectral resolution, and transmission stability. Formal reports provide traceable controlled quality. Domestic in-house lines improve turnaround; dedicated one-to-one engineers quickly address matching/setup, calibration, and after-sales corrections. The company presents itself as a trusted Chinese independent precision-phase-grating supplier. Contact it for custom work and professional efficient technical/product support.

Applications

Spectral instruments: precise splitting separates laser wavelengths in spectrometers and optical analyzers to improve spectral identification. Precision metrology: stable, controllable diffraction deflection angles support laser interferometry, displacement detection, and precision positioning, improving measurement stability and accuracy. Laser beam shaping: phase modulation optimizes Gaussian energy distribution for homogenization, expansion, and correction in precision illumination. Optical communication and sensing: splitting, coupling, and signal modulation simplify paths and improve system stability. University research: core components for diffraction studies, phase modulation experiments, teaching demonstrations, and research testing.

Key Features

High diffraction efficiency: phase gratings do not obstruct incident light, so most incident energy participates in diffractive redistribution, enabling high efficiency. Broad applicability from deep ultraviolet to infrared: adjusting relief etch depth accommodates operating wavelengths across this range. High-power tolerance: the device absorbs almost no incident optical energy and generates no excess heat from it, providing laser damage resistance for high-power laser processing and military optoelectronics. Compact, lightweight integration: thin micro- and nanoscale surface structures keep the device lightweight. In spectrometers, AR waveguides, and similar equipment, it replaces bulky prisms or complex lens groups to enable smaller, lighter systems.
