High Efficiency Diffraction Grating Designs for Rhomb Configurations.

摘要

A diffraction grating rhomb is an excellent candidate for both suppressing instabilities in a free electron laser and outcoupling the optical beam. A rhomb incorporating sinusoidal profile grating exhibits many of the required performance characteristics for such an application. We present in some detail a description of such a rhomb alignment sensitivity analysis. 6 refs., 8 figs.
