Theory of optimal beam splitting by phase gratings. I. One-dimensional gratings.
We give an analytical basis for the theory of optimal beam splitting by one-dimensional gratings. In particular, we use methods from the calculus of variations to derive analytical expressions for the optimal phase function.
