We experimentally characterize the positions of the diffraction maxima of a phase grating on a screen, for laser light at oblique incidence (so-called off-plane diffraction or conical diffraction). We discuss the general case of off-plane diffraction geometries and derive basic equations for the positions of the diffraction maxima, in particular for their angular dependence. In contrast to previously reported work [Jetty et al., Am. J. Phys. 80, 972 (2012)], our reasoning is solely based on energy- and momentum conservation. We find good agreement of our theoretical prediction with the experiment. A detailed discussion of the diffraction maxima positions, the number of diffraction orders, and the diffraction efficiencies is provided. We assess the feasibility of an experimental test of the phenomenon for neutron matter waves.
This work presents a theoretical investigation of an active diffraction grating of the Parity-Time (PT) symmetric architecture. The analytical study of the free-space mode propagation in the grating structure indicates the unique bifurcation property
Optical gratings are a key component in many spectroscopy, communications, and imaging systems. While initially static elements, advances in optical materials have enabled dynamically tunable gratings to be designed. One common tuning strategy is rel
Ultra-thin optical structures, known as metasurfaces, have shown promising light controlling capability at the nanoscale. In this paper, we study their particular case, a periodic array of high-refractive-index nanoparticles with electric and magneti
In coherent X-ray diffraction microscopy the diffraction pattern generated by a sample illuminated with coherent x-rays is recorded, and a computer algorithm recovers the unmeasured phases to synthesize an image. By avoiding the use of a lens the res
We report on the observation of emerging beam resonances, well known as Rayleigh-Wood anomalies and threshold resonances in photon and electron diffraction, respectively, in an atom-optical diffraction experiment. Diffraction of He atom beams reflect
