Tailorable Elastomeric Grating With Tunable Groove Density Gradient

This paper describes a new method for fabrication of tailorable elastomeric gratings with tunable groove density gradients based on stretching of the grating sample in a direction perpendicular to the grating line within the grating surface. The advantage of this method is that the tunable groove de...
