Photosensitive materials are widely used for the direct fabrication of surface relief gratings (SRGs) without selective etching material. It is known that interferometric approach makes it possible to fabricate SRGs with submicron and even subwavelength periods. However, change period written SRGs, necessary convergence angle, shift a sample, readjust setup. Recently, was shown structured laser beams predetermined, periodically modulated polarization distributions can also be SRGs. A beam desired distribution formed just one polarizing optical element—for example, so-called depolarizer, patterned micro-retarder array. The use such stacked elements directly control modulation generated beam.
