摘要: We demonstrate a novel interferometric technique for highly accurate characterization of phase masks used in optical fiber grating fabrication. The principle the measurement scheme is based on analysis interference pattern formed between first- and zero-order beams transmitted through or reflected from under test. For spatial resolution few millimeters, our methods allow determination local variations order 1-µm period with an accuracy picometers. These are applicable to broad class diffractive structures.
