Non-Diffraction Characteristics of Picometer Misplacement Combined Grating
It is well established that light beams gradually diverge during propagation due to diffraction effects, imposing limitations on their practical applications. Extensive research has been conducted to develop methods for generating non-diffraction beams. While significant progress has been achieved, substantial challenges remain. For example, propagation distance and efficiency are highly sensitive to beam parameters. Precise control and stable generation of high-quality non-diffraction beams in experimental settings thus remain a focal point of current research. Recent advancements in micro-nano optical devices have enabled optical field manipulation through structural parameter tuning. For instance, metasurface-based approaches have been used to engineer non-diffraction properties; however, these complex metasurface structures often pose significant fabrication challenges. In this paper, we study the diffraction field generated by the picometer misplacement combined grating (PMCG) with the property of non-diffraction. The PMCG is prepared by the double holographic exposure technique. By adjusting the angle between the two beams and the parameters of the exposure period, the period difference between the two exposures is set at a picometer scale. This new method of generating a non-diffraction field by adjusting the holographic exposure period is expected to be applied in the field of three-dimensional measurement and precision measurement.
The PMCG is a diffraction optical element generated by two exposures of a holographic interference field with a controllable period at the picometer scale. In the holographic exposure field, an angle
In this study, the PMCG with dimensions of 30 mm×50 mm×10 mm is fabricated. The first holographic exposure has a period of 4096 nm, and the period difference
In this study, a novel non-diffraction optical element is proposed, whose diffraction field exhibits propagation invariance. The PMCG is fabricated using the double holographic exposure technique. By measuring the period of the exposure interference field with the SRG system, the periods of the two exposures are set as
