AbstractPolarizing beamsplitters have numerous applications in optical systems, such as systems for freeform surface metrology. They are classically manufactured from birefringent materials or with stacks of dielectric coatings. We present a binary subwavelength-structured form-birefringent diffraction grating, which acts as a polarizing beamsplitter for a wide range of incidence angles −30∘…+30∘. We refine the general design method for such hybrid gratings. We furthermore demonstrate the manufacturing steps with Soft-UV-Nanoimprint-Lithography, as well as the experimental verification, that the structure reliably acts as a polarizing beamsplitter. The experimental results show a contrast in efficiency for TE- and TM-polarization of up to 1:18 in the first order, and 34:1 in the zeroth order. The grating potentially enables us to realize integrated compact optical measurement systems, such as common-path interferometers.

Reverse design and forward design have their strong points each other. The advantages of reverse design lie in the treatment of free-form complex modeling, while forward design is good in modeling in simpler feature. The car body often contains complex curved surface and some simple features. Through a single reverse or forward design can’t realize the efficient design. In order to combine advantages of reverse and forward design, using the hybrid design process design can improve the efficiency of the development of car body.

AbstractA two-step method of writing high diffraction efficiency holographic gratings in photopolymer using just one writing beam during the second step is discussed. The technique is based on the use of weak gratings (<1%) recorded during a first step which during the second step are illuminated with a single beam to form strong highly efficient holographic gratings. The weak grating provides a second interfering beam by diffracting a small portion of the illuminating light. Although effects such as beam pumping and twowave mixing arewell known in dynamic re-writable recording media such as photorefractives, the ability to write with one beam, or ‘pump’ gratings is not usually observed in photopolymer materials. Other methods of recording with a single beam have been reported, especially for data storage, but they use compact optical systems, polarization effects or lenticular devices to produce the required second beam. In this method, the second beam is produced within the photopolymer medium. Earlierwork by the authors reported increases in efficiency of weak photopolymer gratings illuminated by a single exposure beam, and more recently evidence was presented that diffraction at the weak pre-recorded grating was responsible for this effect. Here we demonstrate a strong dependence of the diffraction efficiency on grating thickness and show that the method allows the writing of high diffraction efficiency gratings in adverse conditions using a single beam. The possibility of angular multiplexing is also demonstrated. The technique may find application in writing information using pre-recorded weak holographic gratings and, potentially, in other data storage applications. In this paper it is shown that multiple new gratings can be writtenwhich are angularly separated and distinct from the pre-written grating and it is also possible to choose one grating from among a number of pre-written gratings and selectively amplify it without amplifying the others.

Classical control – a hybrid design method by inspection This article describes a method whereby most linear time – invariant SISO control systems dominated by no more than three time constants can be designed by a simple procedure, refined if necessary by empirical formulae. In many cases specifying the initial peak time of a classical third order step response is sufficient.
