Ion-exchange in glass is a well-known technique to fabricate phase optical elements. For elements with reduced dimensions, the side diffusion, intrinsic to ion-exchange processes, can affect the performance of these elements if it is not taken into account. Here we present a procedure to optimise the zero-order suppression of ion-exchanged phase gratings.
