Abstract

New grating structures include a bonded transmission grating structure. The grating structure is encapsulated by two pieces that are bonded together. In addition, a new method of making grating structures includes forming wells with an aspect ratio (depth:width) of at least 3:1, 7:1 or greater. Such grating structures can be used to form gratings with high diffraction efficiencies for both TE and TM polarizations of light.
