[0063] The following is described through two specific embodiments:
[0064] Specific embodiment 1
[0065] Methane is a greenhouse gas that has a significant impact on the climate change of the earth. By monitoring the concentration of methane, the trend of the climate change of the earth can be more accurately evaluated. The atmospheric detection windows of methane mainly include 1.6 microns and 2.3 microns. Here, a transmission grating is given for the 1.6-micron band, which mainly includes a fused silica substrate and a grating layer and a dielectric film layer arranged thereon.
[0066] The grating layer includes etched grating grooves, and the grating grooves are trapezoidal with a period of 1100 nm. The dielectric film layer is made of TiO2. Referring to FIG. 1, the incident angle α of the incident light in the fused silica substrate 1 is set to 31 degrees.
[0067] By optimizing the structure of the grating grooves, the optimal parameters are obtained. When the grating is filled with TiO2 by atomic layer deposition, the range of the tooth height and the duty cycle is obtained. As shown in FIG. 3 (θ = 84° or symmetric 84°), it can be found that when the diffraction efficiency of the central band is greater than 85%, the minimum tooth height required is 1810 nm. Therefore, under the condition that the tooth height is 1895 nm, the aspect ratio (H / Λ) is 1.72, and the middle duty cycle is 0.45, the first-order diffraction efficiency in the 1.59-1.67-micron bandwidth range is calculated. As shown in FIG. 4, it can be seen that the first-order diffraction efficiency in the 1.59-1.67-micron bandwidth range is greater than 85%.
[0068] As shown in FIG. 5, compared with the traditional full-wrapped rectangular groove shape, when the grating is filled with TiO2 by atomic layer deposition, the range of the tooth height and the duty cycle is obtained. It can be found that when the diffraction efficiency of the central band is greater than 85%, the minimum tooth height required is 1910 nm. Therefore, under the condition that the tooth height is 1980 nm, the aspect ratio (H / Λ) is 1.8, and the duty cycle is 0.39, the first-order diffraction efficiency in the 1.59-1.67-micron bandwidth range is calculated. As shown in FIG. 6, it can be seen that the first-order diffraction efficiency in the 1.59-1.67-micron bandwidth range is greater than 80%.
[0069] Therefore, it can be obviously seen that by the new trapezoidal grating groove design, the aspect ratio is effectively reduced, the duty cycle is increased, the polarization degree is effectively reduced, and the first-order diffraction efficiency in the 1.59-1.67 micron bandwidth range is increased from 80% to 85%.
[0070] In detail, in the preparation process, first, photoresist is coated on a fused quartz substrate, and then a photoresist grating mask is made on the photoresist by a holographic lithography method, the duty cycle f = 0.45, and the grating tooth height is 800 nm.
[0071] Secondly, mask transfer is realized by reactive ion beam etching, and trapezoidal (inclination angle θ = 84°) grooves are formed on the fused quartz substrate, and it should be noted that the trapezoidal grooves are trapezoidal grating teeth, and the trapezoidal grating tooth height is 1895 nm. Specifically, the reactive gas is trifluoromethane (CHF3), the ion energy is 550 ev, the ion beam current is 140 mA, the acceleration voltage is 240 v, and the working pressure is 2.5 × 10 -2 Pa;
[0072] After removing the remaining photoresist, a layer of high refractive index material TiO2 is formed by atomic layer deposition method, and the thickness of the TiO2 film layer is calculated according to the formula Wherein The thickness of the TiO2 film layer is calculated to be 446 nm.
[0073] Specific implementation 2
[0074] Carbon dioxide is a typical greenhouse gas, which has the characteristics of absorbing infrared radiation. It can smoothly pass the energy of shorter wavelength from the sun, but it can strongly absorb the longer wavelength infrared energy released from the ground and the near-surface atmosphere, thereby increasing the temperature of the ground and forming a greenhouse effect, which has an important influence on the climate change of the earth. By monitoring the concentration of carbon dioxide, the trend of climate change of the earth can be more accurately evaluated. The main atmospheric detection windows of carbon dioxide are 1.61 microns and 2.06 microns. Here, a transmission grating is given for the 2.06 micron band, which mainly consists of a fused quartz substrate and a grating layer and a dielectric film layer arranged thereon.
[0075] Specifically, the grating layer includes etched grating grooves, the grating grooves are trapezoidal, the period is 1250 nm, and the single-layer high-refractive-index dielectric film layer is TiO2. The incident angle α of the incident light in the fused quartz substrate 1 is set to 38°.
[0076] The best parameters are obtained by optimizing the grating groove structure. When the TiO2 of the grating is just filled, the range of the grating tooth height and the duty cycle is obtained. As shown in Fig. 7 (θ = 86°), it can be found that when the diffraction efficiency is greater than 85%, the minimum grating tooth height required is 2010 nm, and therefore the first-order diffraction efficiency in the 2.042-2.086 μm bandwidth range is calculated with the grating tooth height (H / Λ) = 1.65, the middle duty cycle 0.44, as shown in Fig. 8.
[0077] As compared with the conventional full-wrapped rectangular groove, as shown in Fig. 9, when the TiO2 of the grating is just filled, the range of the grating tooth height and the duty cycle is obtained, and it can be found that when the diffraction efficiency is greater than 85%, the minimum grating tooth height required is 2115 nm, and therefore the first-order diffraction efficiency in the 2.042-2.086 μm bandwidth range is calculated with the grating tooth height (H / Λ) = 1.74, the duty cycle 0.42, as shown in Fig. 10.
[0078] Therefore, it can be obviously seen that by the new grating groove design, the aspect ratio of the grating is effectively reduced, the duty cycle is increased, and the polarization degree is effectively reduced.
[0079] In the preparation process, first, the photoresist is coated on the fused quartz substrate, and then the photoresist grating mask is made on the photoresist by the holographic lithography method, the duty cycle f = 0.44, and the grating tooth height is 960 nm.
[0080] Secondly, the mask transfer is realized by the reactive ion beam etching to form the trapezoidal (inclined angle θ = 86°) groove on the fused quartz substrate. It needs to be noted that the trapezoidal groove is the trapezoidal grating tooth, and the trapezoidal grating tooth height is 2060 nm. Specifically, the reactive gas is trifluoromethane (CHF3), the ion energy is 450 ev, the ion beam current is 140 mA, the acceleration voltage is 240 v, the working pressure is 2.5 × 10 -2 Pa;
[0081] After the remaining photoresist is removed, a layer of high refractive index material TiO2 is formed by atomic layer deposition, and the thickness of the TiO2 film layer is calculated according to the formula Wherein The thickness of the TiO2 film layer is 453 nm.

[0085] Step S2: Mask transfer is achieved by ion beam etching, transferring the grating mask pattern to the substrate surface to form grating layer 2;
[0086] Step S3: Remove the remaining photoresist and form a dielectric layer 3 on the surface of the grating layer 2 by atomic layer deposition.
[0087] The thickness m of the dielectric layer is calculated using the formula in Example 1. in,
[0088] In a preferred embodiment, in the ion beam etching step of step S2, the working gas is trifluoromethane (CHF3), the ion energy is 200–600 eV, the ion beam current is 50–160 mA, the accelerating voltage is 200–260 V, and the working pressure is 2.4 × 10⁻⁶. -2 Pa.
[0089] In a preferred embodiment, in step S1, the substrate coated with photoresist film is placed in a holographic interference optical system for exposure.
[0090] Example 3
[0091] The present invention also discloses an optical system comprising a transmission grating as described in Embodiment 1, wherein the angle of the incident light is in the range of 30°-50°. The bandwidth of the incident light is in the range of 1.5-2.1 micrometers.
[0092] This invention, through the design and adjustment of the film structure and dimensions of the transmission grating, enables the acquisition of transmission gratings with different diffraction efficiencies and polarization degrees. It achieves precise filling of the grating tooth gaps while ensuring a transmission diffraction efficiency exceeding 85% across the entire operating wavelength range and maintaining a low polarization degree.
[0093] In addition, the grating groove of the transmission grating of the present invention is trapezoidal, which reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the transmission grating compared with the rectangular groove, and makes the duty cycle f of the transmission grating greater than 0.39; and reduces the aspect ratio to 1.65 to 1.76.
[0094] This invention enables the design of the film structure and dimensions of the transmission grating, thereby obtaining transmission gratings with different diffraction efficiencies and polarization degrees. It also facilitates precise control of the dimensions of the transmission grating film structure during processing, making it easier to manufacture.
