21. Her research interests include VCSELs, high contrast gratings , and nanostructure growth. 22. Phase stepping one of the gratings  is performed to retrieve the phase images. 23. Such gratings  can be either transmissive or reflective. 24. Gratings  with such small periodicity are called subwavelength gratings and exhibit special optical properties.25. Gratings with such small periodicity are called subwavelength gratings  and exhibit special optical properties. 26. Another method for manufacturing diffraction gratings  uses a photosensitive gel sandwiched between two substrates. 27. Holographic gratings  are also used, as they allow more accurate discrimination of wavelengths. 28. Recently, an alternative to prisms and gratings  has been developed : chirped mirrors. 29. Slender columns with Ionic capitals upheld the chiseled gratings  balconies of the second floor. 30. It's ideal as a topping for pasta with fresh gratings  of Parmesan cheese.
