Abstract
A one to many optical interconnections system is studied where the diffractive optical element is a surface relief grating. The groove profile studied is the rectangular slab profile, as this is the simplest possible profile to study and manufacture. The effects of varying the size of the slab on the reflected and transmitted diffraction orders are studied using the rigorous coupled wave analysis as published by Moharam and Gaylord. The aim of this study is to find a slab profile that will produce the most efficient fan-out operation
