Abstract: The present invention provides a concave diffraction grating capable of improved diffraction efficiency by suppressing spherical aberration. The concave diffraction grating is a concave diffraction grating 2 for dispersing and focusing light and comprises sawtooth grating grooves 21 on a concave substrate 24, with the sawtooth grating grooves 21 being unequally spaced. The concave diffraction grating 2 for dispersing and focusing light is formed by preparing a planar diffraction grating with a sawtooth shape which is formed on a planar substrate by photo-lithography and etching or machining and which forms unequally spaced grating grooves 21, deforming and mounting the planar diffraction grating along a fixed convex substrate to obtain a mold of a concave diffraction grating, and transferring the mold of the concave diffraction grating to the surface of a metal or a resin.

Abstract: Provided is a feature for highly precisely manufacturing a concave diffraction grating that has a uniform diffraction grating pattern. This method for manufacturing a concave diffraction grating includes: preparing a flat diffraction grating that has a lattice groove and that also has an elongated section, a thin-film section, or a low-friction section formed outside of a region for forming a mold for the concave diffraction grating; mounting the flat diffraction grating on a convex substrate and acquiring the mold for the concave diffraction grating; and transferring the lattice groove in the mold to the concave substrate.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a concave diffraction grating is provided. The method includes the steps of: positioning a flat mold and a concave substrate such that a pressing surface, having a groove pattern of a diffraction grating, of the flat mold faces a concave surface, coated with a resin, of the concave substrate; pressing the pressing surface against the resin coated over the concave surface by pressurizing the flat mold using a fluid; and curing the resin having the groove pattern transferred thereto by being pressed by the pressing surface. This makes it possible to improve load non-uniformity and manufacture a concave diffraction grating with high surface accuracy.
