Abstract
A modulation scheme that uses pulse-position modulation of a high-frequency binary grating to increase the diffraction efficiency of the elements is presented. These elements are designed and fabricated with both one- and two-dimensional signals for operation in transmission or reflection modes in the visible and the infrared regions of the spectrum. A direct electron-beam lithography fabrication process capable of realizing features of ~280 nm with a resolution of 15 nm is described in detail. Experimental results show that diffraction efficiencies of >80% are attainable.
