Common DOE surfaces
Sinusoidal, triangle
|
- Max D.E. ~ 30% ± 1 order
- Power distribution follows Bessel function in the scaler region.
- T ≈ λ for transmission.
- T ≈ λ/4 for reflection.
- Easily replicated or deep etch can yield higher efficiency.

Square, rectangle
|
- Max D.E. ~ 40% ± 1 order.
- Power distributions favors odd orders.
- Pi phase shift typical.
- Classic binary grating.
- T ≈ λ for transmission.
- T ≈ λ/4 for reflection.

Blazed, sawtooth

- Max D.E ~ 98%
- Reflection Case:
- λ = 2 d sin a
- T = λ/2 ± 10%
- Transmission Case:
- λ = d sin b
- a ≈ 2b
- T = λ/(n-1) ± 10%

Holographic Deflectors (hologons)
|
- N = θD/(1.4λ)
- N = number of resolvable spots
- θ = full scan angle in radians
- D = beam diameter in microns
- λ = wavelength
- Φ = wedge angle of glass
- Special case of linear scan and near wobble invariance a ~ b ~ 45° max straight scan angle ~ 36°
- Dynamic wobble Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \scriptstyle \simeq \Delta\Omega/128}
- Wedge wobble = (n-1)Φ
- Scan angle multiplier = 1.4 @ 90° cross scan angle
