Diffraction of gratings with rough edges Torcal Milla, Francisco José Sánchez Brea, Luis Miguel Bernabeu Martínez, Eusebio We analyze the far field and near field diffraction pattern produced by an amplitude grating whose strips present rough edges. Due to the stochastic nature of the edges a statistical approach is performed. The grating with rough edges is not purely periodic, although it still divides the incident beam in diffracted orders. The intensity of each diffraction order is modified by the statistical properties of the irregular edges and it strongly decreases when roughness increases except for the zero-th diffraction order. This decreasing firstly affects to the higher orders. Then, it is possible to obtain an amplitude binary grating with only diffraction orders -1, 0 and +1. On the other hand, numerical simulations based on Rayleigh-Sommerfeld approach have been used for the case of near field. They show that the edges of the self-images are smoother than the edges of the grating. Finally, we fabricate gratings with rough edges and an experimental verification of the results is performed. 2023-06-20T10:45:18Z 2023-06-20T10:45:18Z 2023-06-20T10:45:18Z 2008-11-24 journal article https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/51153 1094-4087 10.1364/OE.16.019757 eng CENIT project "Tecnologías avanzadas para los equipos y procesos de fabricación de 2015: e-eficiente, e-cológica, e-máquina (eEe)" DPI2005-02860 open access The Optical Society Of America
