Abstract
An achromatic interferometer was developed to produce 1200-lines/mm crossed-line photoresist gratings with a mercury arc light source. It is a compact reflection system of outstanding stability. Alignment procedures are described. The most stringent requirement, coplanar alignment of two folding gratings, was accomplished with the aid of a Twyman-Green interferometer. The grating interferometer produced crossed-line photoresist gratings with first-order diffraction efficiency exceeding 20%.
