Abstract
High performance reflection gratings on freeform surfaces and/or with customized groove patterns are highly desirable from an instrument design perspective. Such dispersive elements would have the potential to unlock innovative optical designs, achieve high performance in limited volumes, or enable aberration-correction. We report on an effort to make customized gratings using electron-beam lithography (EBL) and to characterize their performance using interferometric measurements. We describe the design, manufacture, and measurement of two moderate-format (10 mm x 30 mm) gratings fabricated on cylindrical substrates and we quantify the limiting spectral resolution of these gratings.
