Abstract:

Subject of study. Waveguide holograms and the possibilities of their application in interferometric schemes of optical elements quality control. Aim of study. Increasing the sensitivity of interferometric wavefront monitoring systems through the use of waveguide diffractive elements. Method. computer modeling of the operation of waveguide diffractive elements in a specialized software package developed by the authors. It is based on non-sequential ray tracing with the transfer of information about the phase and amplitude of the wave. The results of modeling were compared with the experimental data. Main results. The potential of using waveguide diffractive elements in interferometric installations has been confirmed. A new scheme of a multi-beam interferometer based on a waveguide diffractive periscope is proposed. The results of computer modeling and initial experiments allow us to declare that this scheme has a significantly higher sensitivity compared to reference plane-parallel plates. Practical significance. The proposed design of an interferometric scheme based on a waveguide diffractive element opens up the possibility of creating compact integrated interferometers with increased accuracy of wavefront control.
