System and method for testing a grating

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for testing gratings. Gratings, such as those used in waveguide displays, can have a large aspect ratio. For example, grating characteristics (e.g., period, feature size, etc.) can be much smaller than the grating area. Variations in grating characteristics across the grating area can appear like a secondary grating with a long grating period superimposed on the primary grating for which the grating was designed. Because the variations leading to the secondary grating occur over a long distance relative to the primary grating period, it can be difficult to locate and characterize these variations with testing methods designed for shorter distances. The present disclosure proposes systems and methods for quickly and efficiently detecting and characterizing secondary gratings.
