Top hat diffraction efficiency in an all-dielectric SiO2/HfO2 grating femtosecond pulse compression grating is demonstrated with a close to 100% flat top over more than 20 nm around 800 nm wavelength. New perspectives are open for high average power femtosecond laser machining. The Poster shows the design, fabrication and the diffraction efficiency results of the element focusing on the fabrication details
