In this work a moving point source is adopted and analysis indicates that if the path is a circle several of these restrictions are removed. The scheme is implemented and the results are highly satisfactory with high-efficiency gratings being produced at frequencies up to 2400 lines/mm, in sizes up to 65 mm square. Significant operational advantages also accrue in relation to alignment procedures and light utilization.application/pdfen-USIn CopyrightArticle - Refereedhttp://www.opticsinfobase.org/ao/abstract.cfm?URI=ao-28-16-3494https://doi.org/10.1364/AO.28.003494
