Periodically patterned columnar thin films as blazed diffraction gratings
Periodically patterned columnar thin films (PP-CTFs) were made by evaporating CaF2 and directing the vapor flux obliquely towards lithographically fabricated micrometer/sub-micrometer gratings. The growth of the PP-CTFs was controlled by the deposition rate to form prismatic air cavities within them. These PP-CTFs function like blazed diffraction gratings with asymmetric diffraction …
