I was wondering if anyone here has any experience working with VBG's, more particularly multiplexed VBG's for spectral combining.
I'm interested because, from what I've read, they offer spectral combining with supreme efficiency and a very high damage threshold.
There is a company local to me by the name of Optigrate who is a leading producer of these gratings. If anyone could help me to gain some technical understanding of the pro's and con's of implementing these as combiners I would be greatly appreciative.
If it seems promising I'm considering approaching this company with the intention of possibly partnering with my company to produce a modular combiner which I have invented over the course of 4-5 years.
I need to hear from someone with some real working knowledge of these optics so I can gain as much understanding about them before approaching their research engineers, as I do not want to miss something integral and sound like a baffoon.
Thanks!
