With the development of technology, a grating and a prism-combined spectrometer element has appeared in the imaging spectrometer system. Unlike the traditional grating, the groove of the transmission prism grating is immersed in a high refractive index medium at the bottom of the grating, such as SiO2, Si, etc. Since the prism grating groove is embedded in the high refractive index medium, the angular dispersion and resolution of the grating are increased by n times, where n is the refractive index of the high refractive index medium. Therefore, compared with the traditional grating, the prism grating can reduce the size of the grating at the same spectral resolution, achieving a more compact design. This is particularly suitable for high-resolution spectrometers for atmospheric greenhouse gas detection. The already disclosed Chinese patent CN111708113A provides a low-polarization high diffraction efficiency metal reflection immersion grating and an optical system, and specifically discloses a reflection grating structure with a rectangular groove.

[0041] The transmission grating further includes a grating layer 2, wherein the grating layer 2 includes a plurality of trapezoidal grating teeth 20 arrayed on the first surface 10, wherein the plurality of grating teeth 20 are extended along the thickness direction of the substrate 1, and there is a gap between two adjacent grating teeth 20, so that the grating layer 2 forms a plurality of gaps;

[0043] In detail, the dielectric layer 3 has a second surface 30 on a side away from the substrate 1 , and there is a difference between the distance between the second surface 30 and the first surface 10 and the height of the grating teeth 20 , and the difference is m.
[0044] It should be noted that the difference m can also be considered as the thickness of the dielectric layer 3 .
[0045] A first interface is formed between the grating layer 2 and the dielectric layer 3. The incident light passes through the grating layer 2 toward the first interface, and a diffraction effect occurs at the first interface, the dielectric layer 3 and the second surface 30 to generate diffracted light and transmitted light. The transmitted light is emitted through the second surface 30 of the dielectric layer 3.
[0046] It can be known that the transmission grating to be protected by the present invention comprises a substrate, a grating layer and a dielectric layer arranged in sequence along the thickness direction of the transmission grating, wherein the grating layer comprises a plurality of trapezoidal grating teeth arranged in an array on the substrate, and the dielectric layer covers the surface of the grating layer and can fill the gaps between adjacent grating teeth; specifically, the dielectric layer has a second surface on the side away from the substrate, and there is a difference between the spacing between the second surface and the first surface of the substrate and the height of the grating teeth, and the difference is defined as m, and the difference m can also be considered as the thickness of the dielectric layer. Compared with the prior art, the present invention can accurately fill the grating tooth gap while ensuring that the transmission diffraction efficiency is higher than 85% in the entire working band and has a lower polarization degree; in addition, the grating groove shape of the transmission grating of the present invention is a trapezoidal shape, which can reduce the difficulty of the process of manufacturing the transmission grating compared with the rectangular groove shape, so that the duty cycle f of the transmission grating is greater than 0.39; so that the aspect ratio can be reduced to 1.65-1.76.
[0047] In detail, the second surface 30 of the dielectric layer 3 is parallel to the first surface 10, and the dielectric layer 3 includes a first film layer 31 and a second film layer 32, wherein the first film layer 31 covers the grating layer 2 and a portion of the substrate 1; and the second film layer 32 covers the first film layer 31. Specifically, along the height direction of the transmission grating, and with the geometric center line of the grating tooth 20 as a reference, the thickness of the first film layer 31 is m1, and the thickness of the second film layer 32 is m2, where m=m1+m2.

[0059]
[0060] in,
[0061] As a preferred implementation, the dielectric layer 3 is made of a high refractive index material.
[0062] The material of the dielectric layer 3 includes but is not limited to titanium dioxide (TiO2), aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5).
[0063] In detail, the substrate 1 is made of fused quartz optical glass.
[0064] Therefore, by designing the film structure and film size of the transmission grating, it is possible to obtain transmission gratings with different diffraction efficiencies and polarization degrees.
[0065] The following is explained through two specific embodiments: Specific implementation method 1
[0067] Methane is a greenhouse gas that has a significant impact on the earth's climate change. By monitoring the concentration of methane, the trend of the earth's climate change can be more accurately assessed. The atmospheric detection windows of methane are mainly 1.6 microns and 2.3 microns. Here, for the 1.6 micron band, a transmission grating is given, which is mainly composed of a fused quartz substrate and a grating layer and a dielectric film layer arranged thereon.
[0068] The grating layer includes an etched grating groove, the grating groove is a trapezoid, and its period is 1100nm, and the dielectric film layer is TiO2. Figure 1 As shown, the incident angle α of the incident light in the fused silica substrate 1 is set to 31 degrees.
[0069] The optimal parameters were obtained by optimizing the structure of the grating groove. When the grating is completely filled with atomic layer deposited TiO2, the range of grating tooth height and duty cycle is obtained. Figure 3 As shown in (θ=84°or symmetrical 84°), it can be found that when the diffraction efficiency of the central band is greater than 85%, the minimum required grating tooth height is 1810nm. Therefore, under the conditions of grating tooth height of 1895nm, aspect ratio (H / Λ) of 1.72, and middle duty cycle of 0.45, the first-order diffraction efficiency in the bandwidth range of 1.59-1.67 microns is calculated. Figure 4 As shown, it can be seen that the first-order diffraction efficiency in the bandwidth range of 1.59-1.67 microns is greater than 85%.
[0070] like Figure 5 As shown in the figure, compared with the traditional fully wrapped rectangular slot, when the grating is fully filled with atomic layer deposited TiO2, the range of grating tooth height and duty cycle is obtained. It can be found that when the diffraction efficiency of the central band is greater than 85%, the minimum grating tooth height required is 1910nm. Therefore, the first-order diffraction efficiency in the bandwidth range of 1.59-1.67 microns is calculated under the conditions of grating tooth height of 1980nm, aspect ratio (H / Λ) of 1.8 and duty cycle of 0.39. Figure 6 As shown, it can be seen that the first-order diffraction efficiency in the bandwidth range of 1.59-1.67 microns is greater than 80%.
[0071] It can be clearly seen that the new trapezoidal grating groove design can effectively reduce the aspect ratio, increase the duty cycle, effectively reduce the degree of polarization, and increase the first-order diffraction efficiency from 80% to 85% in the bandwidth range of 1.59-1.67 microns.
[0072] In detail, during the preparation process, first, a photoresist is coated on a fused quartz substrate, and then a photoresist grating mask is made on the photoresist using a holographic lithography method, with a duty cycle of f = 0.45 and a grating tooth height of 800nm;
[0073] Secondly, mask transfer is achieved by reactive ion beam etching, and a trapezoidal groove (angle θ=84°) is formed on the fused quartz substrate. It should be noted that the trapezoidal groove is a trapezoidal grid tooth, and the height of the trapezoidal grid tooth is 1895nm. Specifically, the reaction gas used is trifluoromethane (CHF3), the ion energy is 550ev, the ion beam current is 140mA, the acceleration voltage is 240v, and the working pressure is 2.5×10 -2 Pa;
[0074] After removing the remaining photoresist, a layer of high refractive index material TiO2 is formed by atomic layer deposition. According to the formula in The calculated thickness of the TiO2 film is 446nm. Specific implementation method 2
[0076] Carbon dioxide is a typical greenhouse gas with the characteristic of absorbing infrared radiation. It allows shorter wavelength energy from the sun to pass smoothly, but it will strongly absorb longer wavelength infrared energy released from the surface and near-ground atmosphere, thereby increasing the surface temperature and forming a greenhouse effect, which has an important impact on the earth's climate change. By monitoring the concentration of carbon dioxide, the trend of the earth's climate change can be more accurately assessed. The atmospheric detection windows of carbon dioxide are mainly 1.61 microns and 2.06 microns. Here, a transmission grating is given for the 2.06 micron band, which is mainly composed of a fused quartz substrate and a grating layer and a dielectric film layer arranged thereon.
[0077] Specifically, the grating layer includes etched grating grooves, the grating grooves are trapezoidal, and the period is 1250nm; the single-layer high refractive index dielectric film layer is TiO2. The incident angle α of the incident light in the fused silica substrate 1 is set to 38°.
[0078] The optimal parameters were obtained by optimizing the grating groove structure. When the TiO2 of the grating is completely filled, the range of grating tooth height and duty cycle is obtained. Figure 7As shown in FIG. 1 (θ = 86°), it can be found that when the diffraction efficiency is greater than 85%, the minimum required grating tooth height is 2010 nm. Therefore, with a grating tooth height of 2060 nm (H / Λ = 1.65) and a middle duty cycle of 0.44, the first-order diffraction efficiency in the bandwidth range of 2.042-2.086 μm is calculated as follows: Figure 8 shown.
[0079] Compared with the traditional fully wrapped rectangular channel, such as Fig. 9 As shown in FIG. 1 , when the TiO2 of the grating is just fully filled, the range of the grating tooth height and the duty cycle is obtained. It can be found that when the diffraction efficiency is greater than 85%, the minimum grating tooth height required is 2115 nm. Therefore, with a grating tooth height of 2170 nm (H / Λ) = 1.74 and a duty cycle of 0.42, the first-order diffraction efficiency in the bandwidth range of 2.042-2.086 μm is calculated, as shown in FIG. Fig.10 shown.
[0080] From this, it can be clearly seen that the new grating groove design can effectively reduce the grating's aspect ratio, increase the duty cycle, and effectively reduce the degree of polarization.
[0081] During the preparation process, first, a photoresist is coated on a fused quartz substrate, and then a photoresist grating mask is made on the photoresist using a holographic lithography method, with a duty cycle of f=0.44 and a grating tooth height of 960nm;
[0082] Secondly, mask transfer is achieved by reactive ion beam etching to form a trapezoidal groove (angle θ=86°) on the fused quartz substrate. It should be noted that the trapezoidal groove is a trapezoidal grid tooth with a height of 2060 nm. Specifically, the reaction gas used is trifluoromethane (CHF3), the ion energy is 450 eV, the ion beam current is 140 mA, the acceleration voltage is 240 V, and the working pressure is 2.5×10 -2 Pa;
[0083] After removing the remaining photoresist, a layer of high refractive index material TiO2 is formed by atomic layer deposition. According to the formula in The calculated thickness of the TiO2 film is 453nm.

[0088] Step S3, removing the remaining photoresist, and forming a dielectric layer 3 on the surface of the grating layer 2 by atomic layer deposition.
[0089] The thickness m of the dielectric layer is calculated by the formula in the first embodiment: in,
[0090] As a preferred embodiment, in the ion beam etching step in step S2, the working gas is trifluoromethane (CHF3), the ion energy is 200-600 eV, the ion beam current is 50-160 mA, the acceleration voltage is 200-260 V, and the working pressure is 2.4×10 -2 Pa.

While accurately filling the grating tooth gap, it can also ensure that the transmission diffraction efficiency is higher than 85% in the entire working band and has a low polarization degree;
[0095] In addition, the grating groove of the transmission grating of the present invention is trapezoidal, which can reduce the difficulty of manufacturing the transmission grating compared to rectangular grooves, so that the duty cycle f of the transmission grating is greater than 0.39; and the aspect ratio can be reduced to 1.65-1.76.
[0096] The present invention can obtain transmission gratings with different diffraction efficiencies and polarization degrees by designing the film structure and film size of the transmission grating, and can facilitate precise control of the size of the transmission grating film structure during processing, thereby facilitating processing.
