The three or more layers of the sample may include at least a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer, where the overlapping grating structure is periodic along at least one of the scan direction or a direction orthogonal to the scan direction. The multi-layer grating structure may include a first-layer grating on the first layer with a first pitch, a second-layer grating on the second layer with a second pitch, and a third-layer grating on the third layer with a third pitch.
