Abstract
A blazed diffractive optical element has a support and a plurality of blazed diffraction structures. The diffraction structures are applied on the support and are spaced apart by a locally varying grating constant. In a first region, the diffraction structures have an at least approximately ramp-shaped profile. In a second region, the diffraction structures are binary blazed by splitting them into substructures that may have the shape of pillars or bars.
