Abstract
The volume Bragg grating (VBG) recorded in the photo-thermo-refractive (PTR) glass has high diffraction efficiency (DE), excellent angle selectivity, multiplexed and flexible design, which is an ideal device to achieve the angle magnification of beam scanning. In this study, a 4-channel multiplexed VBGs with the average relative diffraction efficiency (RDE) greater than 96% at 1064 nm and the maximum discrete angle deflection of 12° was designed and fabricated. And the angle deviation of experiments and design schemes were controlled less than 0.3°. The laser damage of PTR glass and multiplexed VBGs were also tested at 1064 nm. Laser damage tests were performed with a beam diameter of 0.3 mm by 1-on-1 mode. It showed that the laser damage threshold of PTR glass and multiplexed VBGs were 44.33J/cm2 and 30.15 J/cm2 respectively.
