Light modulation from crossed phase gratings

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A new device, consisting of two phase gratings oriented with a small angle between their grating grooves, acts as a variable-profile diffraction grating that produces variations in the diffraction orders as the illumination region is moved across the device. Combinations of phase gratings that optimize the effect and act as passive light modulators are given. An experiment that demonstrates the principle is described.
