Abstract

Macroscopic substrate surface errors and microscopic groove parameters influence the optical performance of curved diffractive microstructures. However, existing profile measurement techniques face a trade-off between large-area coverage and high resolution, which limits the ability of conventional two-dimensional (2D) line-profile methods to capture the global grating morphology. To address existing limitations, this study proposes a three-dimensional (3D) profile characterization method for curved gratings across macro- and micro-scales. Seamless reconstruction of full-aperture 3D topography with submicron-scale features was achieved using laser scanning confocal microscopy-based stitching measurements.…
