Design and fabrication of multiplexed volume Bragg gratings as angle amplifiers in high power beam scanning system
Abstract:
In this study, the realization of multiplexed volume Bragg gratings (VBGs) working as angle amplifiers in high power beam scanning system is theoretically and experimentally investigated. The design of the multiplexed VBG for the working wavelength of 1064 nm is described. We propose a cascaded multiplexed VBGs scheme that consists of 12 grating channels. Three 4-channel multiplexed VBGs were fabricated inside photo-thermo-refractive (PTR) glasses by multiple exposures and subsequent heat treatment. The test results show that this angle amplifier can achieve discrete angle deflection ranging from -45° to + 45°. The relative diffraction efficiency of all the grating channels is more than 80% and is almost polarization independent.

Beams
Based on geometry, beams can be straight, tapered, or curved. Straight beams are the most common type and have a constant cross-section throughout their length. Tapered beams, on the other hand, have a varying cross-section along...
