Abstract

4- and 8-level diffractive optical elements (DOEs) are fabricated in silicon using electron beam lithography and reactive ion etching (RIE). An f/1.9, 1mm diameter, 4-phase-level, reflective, off-axis, imaging DOE is fabricated for use in a free-space optical interconnect. The absolute first order efficiency of the DOE is 73%. 8-level linear gratings are fabricated to determine processing tolerances for DOEs with first order diffraction efficiencies greater than 90%.
