In this Letter, we analyze the near-field diffraction pattern produced by chirped gratings. An intuitive analytical interpretation of the generated diffraction orders is proposed. Several interesting properties of the near-field diffraction pattern can be determined, such as the period of the fringes and its visibility. Diffraction orders present different widths and also, some of them present focusing properties. The width, location, and depth of focus of the converging diffraction orders are…

Super-bunched focusing with chirped random-phase gratings
Chirped random-phase gratings are designed to produce experimentally a super-bunched focusing effect with a high bunching peak value of g(2)(0)=15.38±0.05 and a high visibility of 92.5%, greatly…
Surface plasmon bandwidth increase using chirped-pitch linear diffraction gratings.
TLDR
Large-scale linear diffraction gratings with gradually varying pitch were photo-inscribed onto the surface of azobenzene thin films using a 532 nm laser and a modified Lloyd mirror set-up, and over three-fold bandwidth increase was observed in the surface plasmon transmission peaks at FWHM, when compared to constant-pitch gratings.

Quasi-periodic gratings: diffraction orders accelerate along curves.
TLDR
This work makes a quantitative link between the quasi-periodicity of a grating and the resulting caustic diffraction orders and demonstrates the validity of multiple accelerating beam generation with a single binary grating.
Diffraction of gratings with rough edges.
TLDR
The far field and near field diffraction pattern produced by an amplitude grating whose strips present rough edges is analyzed and numerical simulations based on Rayleigh-Sommerfeld approach show that the edges of the self-images are smoother than the edge of the grating.
Binary gratings with random heights.
We analyze the far-field intensity distribution of binary phase gratings whose strips present certain randomness in their height. A statistical analysis based on the mutual coherence function is done…

Talbot effect with rough reflection gratings.
TLDR
The Talbot effect is analyzed when steel tape gratings are used and analytical formulas that show a decreasing exponential dependence on the intensity in terms of the distance between the grating and the observation plane are obtained.
