    Binary gratings were developed for diagnosing high-power carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers. These radiation-resistant gratings exhibit polarization-independent diffraction and can reduce beam distortion, improving laser analysis.

    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Laser Technology
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Accurate beam diagnostics are crucial for high-power laser systems.
    • Traditional diagnostic methods can be limited by material degradation and polarization sensitivity.
    • Carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers require specialized diagnostic tools due to their high power output.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the properties of binary gratings for effective beam diagnostics of high-power CO2 lasers.
    • To develop radiation-resistant gratings with polarization-independent diffraction efficiency.
    • To demonstrate the capability of these gratings in reducing elliptical beam distortion.

    Main Methods:

    • Modal theory incorporating impedance boundary conditions for metallic surface absorption was employed.
