Abstract
Transmission gratings have rarely bean used for beam sampling because they require special properties from dielectric overcoatings, which, t o the best of our knowledge, are described here for the first time. Al though such gratings are often used as beam splitters, their nature ca n be modified along the same principles with thin metal coatings, whic h are described. (C) 1996 Optical Society of America
