Abstract:

We describe a process for fabrication of optical diffraction elements based on localized thermochemical oxidation of a thin chromium film. Once the recording procedure has been completed, the unoxidized chromium is removed, thereby forming a microrelief consisting of transparent chromium oxide.

Keywords:

thermochemical recording, diffraction optical element, chromium oxide
