Achieving unlimited recording length in interference lithography via broad-beam scanning exposure with self-referencing alignment

Abstract Large-area holographic gratings are of great importance in diverse fields including long-range interference metrology, high-resolution astronomical telescopes, and chirped-pulse-amplification systems. However, in conventional interference lithography, the recording length is limited by the...
