Has anybody tried to model a Grism in Optica? I take the Prism component and change the Deflection Function for one of the surfaces from Refraction to Diffraction.
The problem I'm running into is that Diffraction uses the same index of refraction on both sides of the surface and by doing the manipulations above all I get effectively is a simple grating surface in a uniform medium.
If I do both Refraction + Diffraction for that surface, it works perfectly for small angles, but at angles > critical angle, I get TIR and the diffracted rays are all relected back into the medium, whereas a true GRISM should transmit (-1) and (-2) diffracted orders.
Is there a way to specify 2 different refr. indecies for Diffraction?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I NEED this component and have spent tons of time trying to model it. Thanks for your help.
