the first metal grid lines are arranged on the seed layer and distributed at equal intervals;
and the second metal grid lines are arranged on the seed layer at equal intervals, the grating constant of the second metal grid lines is greater than or equal to that of the first metal grid lines, and the thickness of the second metal grid lines is greater than that of the first metal grid lines.
Further, the grating constant of the first metal grating is 1 micron to 5 microns, and the grating constant of the second metal grating is 2 microns to 10 microns.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects:
the invention provides a double-period metal grating with unequal heights, which is not only periodically arranged in the horizontal direction and is divided into a first grid line and a second grid line with different heights in the vertical direction, but also periodically arranged, so that the amplitude and the phase of light are simultaneously regulated and controlled in the process of passing through the grating, and the focusing effect of the grating is stronger.
