| Summary: | A scheme of a new type optical filter, built using a relief reflective periodic diffraction structure, which has a specific rectangular profile, is proposed. The input radiation beam is directed to the relief structure at a certain angle of incidence. The zero diffraction order beam is our output beam, which is separated from the other diffraction order beams with the help of a diaphragm. The incidence-reflection plane is parallel to the relief lines of the diffraction structure. The dependence of the output beam power on the angle of incidence and on the wavelength of the radiation is investigated. It is shown that the power transfer coefficient from the input to the output of the scheme substantially depends on the wavelength of the optical beam. The scheme can be used as an optical signal filter. The spectral characteristic of this type of filter has an oscillating character. The zero (minimum) values of the power transfer coefficient of radiation from the input to the output of the filter alternate with maximum values close to unity. The spectral characteristic of the filter is easy to change by changing the angle of incidence of the input beam to the relief reflecting structure. Filters of this type can be built for the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared range. Calculations of the dependence of the filter parameters on the relief depth and on the angle of incidence of the input optical beam to the relief structure are presented. |
