摘要
We describe gratings etched in fused silica for splitting femtosecond polarized beams, where TE- and TM-polarized waves are diffracted in two orthogonal directions. Grating duty cycle and depth are directly optimized with two-wave interference of the excited modes. Efficiencies are calculated using rigorous coupled-wave analysis, which coincides well with predictions of the modal method. Optimized polarizing beam splitter grating shows wide wavelength range and angular bandwidth from diffraction properties. For high optical quality of fused silica, the presented PBS grating with orthogonally diffractive directions should be useful in femtosecond laser high power systems.
