Abstract
To measure diffraction efficiencies of gratings as a function of wavelength, it is necessary to have quasi-monochromatic light sources of various wavelengths. We propose a method to measure the wavelength dependence of the grating diffraction efficiency by using a quasi-monochromatic light source. This method of estimating the real diffraction characteristics of the gratings for various wavelengths is very useful and simple. First the diffraction efficiency of the grating as a function of various incident-beam angles of monochromatic light is measured, then, using these data, we can obtain the diffraction efficiencies for various wavelengths of the same incident angle of light by virtue of a mathematical-conversion method. The mathematical-conversion results for two laminated differently slanted angle gratings of the same volume grating period are in good agreement with the experimental ones.
