Zusammenfassung: | An optical diffraction element ( 1 ) comprises a diffraction layer ( 4 ) which is divided into diffraction strips ( 6 ) alternating with intermediate strips ( 8 ). The diffraction strips comprise nano-elements ( 10 ) which are aligned in one direction and absorb radiation (b) which is linearly polarized in this direction. The diffraction element may be a linear or two-dimensional grating ( 1 ) or a Fresnel lens ( 160 ). The polarization-sensitive grating can be used in optical systems in which only radiation with a specific polarization direction should be diffracted, or in an optical record carrier to allow reading of an information structure with high spatial frequencies. |
