Abstract

PURPOSE:To permit simple and easy blazing and to improve diffraction efficiency by coating a photosensitive body on a surface having grating grooves and exposing said body from a diagonal direction, the removing the exposed parts by development. CONSTITUTION:Sinusoidal grooves are formed by a two beam interference exposing method on an optically polished glass substrate 1 and an opaque surface is formed thereon by vacuum deposition of metal, etc. The photosensitive body (photoresist) 4 is coated on such grooved surface and is exposed from the diagonal direction (the direction corresponding to a blase angle 5). The exposed arts are removed by the development to form the saw tooth-shaped grooves 8. The brazed holographic diffraction grating having a arbitrary blaze angle ad high diffraction efficiency is thereby easily obtd.

Conventional method for forming each lattice is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 54-1108.
As shown in No. 57, it has been proposed to expose a photosensitive resin film covered with an opaque thin film having a desired pattern while changing the irradiation angle. However, with this method, creating an opaque pattern becomes more laborious as the grating pitch becomes smaller, and the etching process becomes more difficult.

Generally, holographic diffraction gratings created by optical interference have the advantage that the pitch of the grating can be changed depending on the two-beam interference angle at the time of creation, and that a grating of any area can be created. However, since the groove shape is sinusoidal, there is a problem that the diffraction efficiency is low. Therefore, as a way to improve the diffraction efficiency, by making the groove shape serrated, theoretically the diffraction efficiency can be increased to 10
A diffraction efficiency of 0% can be obtained. Various methods for creating sawtooth grooves have been proposed in the past, but they have many problems such as low diffraction efficiency and large stray light.

A shadow appears in a part of the valley.

If a photoreceptor is used in which exposed portions can be removed by development, the unexposed portions will remain after development, filling in some of the valleys of the grooves and forming sawtooth grooves as a whole. As is well known, serrated grooves have a high diffraction efficiency in a specific wavelength range, so the above method can form serrated grooves with a desired blaze angle to increase the diffraction efficiency.

As photoresist AZ-1350 0.6~1.0μ
By coating the photoreceptor 2 with m coating, creating interference fringes on the photoreceptor 2 using two beams of laser beams 3 and 3', and developing the 0th order, unevenness corresponding to the amount of exposure, that is, a sine wave groove is formed. Next, a metal such as chromium or silver is vacuum-deposited to make the groove surface opaque.Next, photoresist AZ-1350 of photoreceptor 4 is applied to the groove surface to a thickness of about 0.6 μm, and diagonally in the direction other than the groove direction is applied. Exposure is performed by irradiating exposure light 6 from the direction. During exposure, the exposure light is not applied to the peaks of the sine wave grooves 2, resulting in unexposed portions 7. Since the exposed portions of the photoreceptor 4 can be removed by development, the unexposed portions 7 remain. As a result, sawtooth grooves 8 are formed as shown in FIG.
