    MethodAdvantageDisadvantage
    Fresnel double sided mirror and biprism1) Fewer components;2) Symmetrical optical system and the optical path difference is almost zero;3) The range of the grating constant is wide1) The light spot of interference area is small when using collimating lens;2) Two light beams are non-parallel without collimating lens
    Lloyd mirror method1) Fewer components and no secondary images;2) Simple operation and convenient adjustment1) Relatively high requirements for the reflectivity of the reflector, collimation property of two light beams and the intensity ratio;2) Only suitable for the fabrication of gratings with larger constant and smaller spatial frequency;3) The interferential light beams are not strictly parallel
    Michelson interferometry method1) Larger size of the grating fabricated;2) Two-dimensional grating fabricated by one exposure1) More transmissive components, so that the wave surface of the plane wave will be deformed and deviate from the plane wave;2) Only suitable for the fabrication of gratings with larger constant
    Mach-Zehnder interferometry method1) Symmetrical optical system and convenient to set up;2) The optical path difference of two light beams is small and the interference effect is good;3) The adjustment is convenient and the spatial frequency of gratings can be changed with the adjustment of one beam splitter angle1) More optical components and the fringe is uneven and the symmetry property is decreased;2) The angle between the reflected light and the transmissive light is small and the grating constant is not accurate;3) The angle of two light beams is restricted by the area of beam splitter and this method is not suitable for the fabrication of gratings with small constant
