2 What is a Grating Waveguide Structure? Answer: Combination of a sub-wavelength grating and planar waveguide diffraction grating (<) + + field accumulation i.e waveguide air Waveguide substrate Single layer GWS Multilayer GWS Slide 2
3 Outline Grating Waveguide Structure (GWS): Introduction Applications in high-power lasers Polarization selective GWS Polarization and wavelength selective GWS Summary Slide 3
4 Grating Waveguide Structure: Introduction diffraction grating (<) + field accumulation i.e waveguide grating waveguide substrate A GWS is characterized by unique resonances thanks to the excitation of true guided modes or leaky modes Resonances can be in reflection, transmission or diffraction By a proper design of the GWS parameters it is possible to modulate the reflected, transmistted, or diffracted beam from 0 to 100% for a given polarization, wavelength and angle of incidence (AOI) due to interferences or coupling phenomena Slide 4 These phenomena are very sensitive to GWS opto-geometrical parameters. A precise control of the manufacturing is required to successfully transform a design to the actual GWS
5 Grating Waveguide Structure: Introduction Opto-geometrical parameters of a GWS are: Refractive indices (cover medium, substrate and coated layers) Thicknesses of coated layers Grating parameters (period, duty-cycle, groove depth, shape) Deviation of these parameters will lead to detrimental deviation of the function of the GWS (e.g. spectral shift, reduced polarization selectivity, reduced diffraction efficiency, etc ) Examples: 1.0 n=+10-2 C 0 Pow 1.0 = C 0 Pow + 2 nm Slide Wavelength nm Wavelength nm 10 3
6 Grating Waveguide Structure: Introduction Refractive indices and thicknesses of waveguide (coated layers) Usually specified by suppliers but not always precisely enough known for requirements in GWS design Better to measure them e.g. by M-lines spectroscopy Accuracy refractive index <10-3 Accuracy layer thickness <5 nm Grating parameters (period, duty-cycle, groove depth, shape) Slide 6 Depend on choice of production technique (lithography + etching) and its precision Often costly process calibration required for each new fabrication run

10 Polarization selective GWS: Generation of beams with radial/azimuthal polarization (beneficial for material processing*: cutting, welding, drilling) Common state of the art polarizations are linear or circular (elliptical): homogeneous polarization state over the beam cross-section Radial or azimuthal polarization = inhomogeneous polarization state over the beam cross-section Slide 10 * Weber et al., Phys. Procedia 12, 21 (2011)
11 Polarization selective GWS: generation of beams with radial/azimuthal polarization Structure: circular sub-wavelength grating + fully dielectric multilayer mirror Principle of leaky-mode grating mirror TE (azimuthal) polarization TM (radial) polarization (~ 100%) Coupling to a leaky mode Slide 11 Reduction of the reflectivity of the undesired polarization The orthogonal polarization does not see the grating and exhibits a reflectivity close to that of the HR mirror without grating Only the polarization with the lowest losses (highest Reflectivity) will oscillate in the laser
