Abstract
The diffraction of light on the corrugated surface of a layered structure w as investigated. It was shown that the excitation of waveguide modes in the layered structure alters significantly the diffraction efficiency of the c orrugated structure. It was found that in the autocollimation regime the di ffraction efficiency of the grating can reach 100% for moderate depths of t he grating grooves. The suitability of a waveguide-grating mirror in dye la sers was demonstrated experimentally.
