    Area of Science:

    • Optics
    • Nanotechnology
    • Photonics

    Background:

    • Grating lenses offer advantages in size, weight, and mass production.
    • Wavelength variations in light sources cause aberrations and focal length instability in conventional grating lenses.
    • This limits their use in high-precision optical systems, such as those employing diode lasers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design a grating lens system that compensates for wavelength variations.
    • To maintain a stable focal length and suppress aberrations in optical systems.
    • To enable the use of grating lenses in applications with variable light sources.

    Main Methods:

    • Designed a system comprising two concentric grating lenses with collinear centers.
    • Utilized the second grating to compensate for diffraction angle changes caused by wavelength variations.
    • Employed electron beam lithography for prototype fabrication.

    Main Results:

    • Calculations indicated an allowable wavelength variation range of +/-15 nm for a numerical aperture (N.A.) of 0.5.
    • A prototype grating lens system was successfully fabricated.
    • Experimental validation confirmed the system's robustness against limited wavelength variations.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed two-grating lens system effectively mitigates aberrations and focal length instability.
    • This innovation expands the applicability of grating lenses in high-precision optical systems with variable wavelength light sources.
