Abstract
In this paper, a transmission two-dimensional (2D) all-dielectric grating with cuboid arrays is proposed, which has high diffraction efficiency and good polarization independence under Littrow mounting conditions at an incident wavelength of 780 nm. The optimization results indicate that when the incident wavelength is 780 nm, the diffraction efficiency of the (−1, 0) order of transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) polarizations can reach 98.62% and 98.23%, respectively, with the polarization-dependent loss (PDL) of 0.017 dB. To the best of our knowledge, high-efficiency polarization-independent 2D transmission grating with a simpler and more effective structure is proposed for the first time, which demonstrates significant enhancements in bandwidth and manufacturing tolerances while maintaining high diffraction efficiency. The results suggest that the grating has great potential for applications in high-precision displacement measurements such as grating interferometers.
