Abstract
We devised a method of producing blaze hologram diffraction gratings by transforming symmetric grooves of the original grating into asymmetric ones using an additional oblique irradiation by monochromatic or polychromatic light and a repeated chemical etching of the additionally irradiated grating. Photosensitive As2Se3 film layers are used as a photoconductive material for recording gratings. A numerical computer modeling of the formation of asymmetric grooves is conducted. The calculated shape of the groove profile is in good agreement with experimental data. The manifestation of asymmetry of the profile shape of the produced gratings in angular and spectral relations for their diffraction efficiency is considered. It is shown that by varying the parameters of producing the original gratings and the conditions of their additional treatment it is possible to obtain hologram gratings with the required profile shape and blaze angle.
