Abstract

This paper presents an analytic treatment of the wavelength dependences associated modulo λ_r optical path control, treating the case where the reset wavelength λ_r is allowed to be an integer multiple of a nominal operating wavelength λ₀, λ_r=Nλ₀. Equations for the wavelength dependences associated with modulo Nλ₀ optical path modulation are derived using both a Strehl ratio analysis approach and a Fourier analysis approach. Geometrical analysis of the transmitted wavefront yields expressions for the Strehl ratio and angular dispersion that are in agreement with the N^th-order diffraction efficiency and angular dispersion relationships derived by Fourier analysis. The Fourier analysis approach yields additional expressions for the diffraction efficiency and wavefront characteristics associated with all diffracted orders.
