Grating interferometers are widely used in many miniaturized sensors requiring displacement measurement, such as microphone and accelerometers, because of its small volume and high measurement accuracy. However, the traditional grating can generate a zeroth-order reflected beam, which results in reduced sensor performance, packaging limitations, and laser instability. In this paper, design and manufacture method of a multi-step phase modulation grating is demonstrated. The application of this multi - step grating interferometer is to modulate the intensity of light of level 0 to level ±1 so as to avoid the return to the laser light so as to improve the system stability. On the other hand, due to the increased testing classes of diffraction efficiency, the SNR of the system is improved.
