Abstract
Diffraction gratings play an important role in many technologies, including spectroscopy, display systems, and wavelength-division multiplexing architectures in telecommunications. For telecommunications, their ability to map wavelength into propagation angle makes them suitable for use in add-drop filters, multiplexers and de-multiplexers, and other wavelength configurable devices. Gratings with low polarization sensitivity are desirable since the signals propagating through the fiber arrive at the grating in an unknown polarization state.
