Study on the Design Method of High-Resolution Volume-Phase Holographic Gratings by Shuo Wang, Lei Dai, Chao Lin, Long Wang, Zhenhua Ji, Yang Fu, Quyouyang Gao, Yuquan Zheng

“…Volume-phase holographic gratings are suitable for use in greenhouse gas detection imaging spectrometers, enabling the detection instruments to achieve high spectral resolution, high signal-to-noise ratios, and high operational efficiency. However, when utilized in the infrared wavelength band with high dispersion requirements, gratings struggle to meet the demands for low polarization sensitivity due to changes in diffraction performance caused by phase delays in the incidence of light waves with distinct polarization states, and current methods for designing bulk-phase holographic gratings require a large number of calculations that complicate the balance of diffraction properties. …”
