Combining and collimation of RGB laser beams with transmissive resonance domain diffractive optics

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Resonance domain diffractive optical elements for combining RGB laser beams into a single collimated beam were designed, fabricated, and experimentally investigated. The input RGB beams were angular separated up to tens of degrees and set in a nearly Bragg arrangement for high diffraction efficiency. A single resonance domain diffractive lens delivered beam combining and collimation functions with reasonable residue divergence. The resonance domain diffraction grating delivered diffraction-limited residue divergence in combining the collimated RGB beams. Optical experiments with fiber-coupled RGB lasers and e-beam-fabricated beam combiners proved low residue beam divergence, a high polarization extinction ratio, and total measured diffraction efficiency of about 80%.
