Summary: | We analyzed fabrication errors of nonperiodic-multilayer-dielectric gratings that were designed to have a high reflective diffraction efficiency for one wavelength and a high transmittance for another wavelength at the same time. Significant deviations were found between the measured and calculated efficiency values although the groove profile parameters were very closed to the design values. The source of error was attributed to coating errors of the film stack. To explain the deviation well, we estimated the parameters of actual coating stack by reverse calculations and using scanning electron microscope. We recalculated the diffraction efficiencies and the results showed that the actual film stack parameters were inverted well. This provided a foundation for us to reoptimize grating groove parameters on the basis of actual coating stack. |
