Description
YAMASHITA ET AL., IEEE JOURAL ON SELECTED TOPICS IN QUANTUM ELECTRONICS, VOL.7, NO.1 JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2001, PP41〜43
Λ(sinγ+sinδ)=kλ ・・・(1)
ここでkは次数であり、0,±1,±2・・・の値となる。さて回折光にはリトロー配置とリットマン配置とがある。リトロー配置では−1次の回折光と入射光の角度が等しい。従って(1)式においてγ=δ-1とすると、(1)式より回折光の波長は次式で決定される。
λ=2Λsinγ ・・・(2)
ここでΛはグレーティングのピッチ(μm)、即ち単位長さ当たりの格子線数a(本/mm)の逆数である。尚、リットマン配置では入射光と反射光の角度は一致していない。
λ=2Λsin(β+ν) ・・・(3)
ここでΛは回折格子ピッチ(μm)であり、回折格子定数aの定数(本/mm)の逆数である。又回折格子による選択波長の半値幅Δλは次式で与えられる。
Δλ=λ2/{2πWtan(β+ν)} ・・・(4)
ここでWは回折格子27に加わる光の光ビーム径であり、β+νは回折格子に対する入射角である。式(3)より明らかなように入射角が大きくなれば選択波長が長く、入射角が小さくなれば短波長となる。そして入射角が大きくなれば図6に示されるように、回折格子の面上に投影される光ビーム径も大きくなるため、λ2はほぼ一定と考えると、半値幅Δλは短波長となるほど太くなる。
W3=M2W2 ・・・(5)
又この拡大率M2は次式で与えられる。
M2=(cosφ・cosν)/(cosθ・cosμ) ・・・(6)
尚、ビームエキスパンダ31においても同様にビーム径が拡大され、元の光ビーム径W1がW3に拡大される。
