Abstract
1. The blazed profile effectively "unwraps the cann spiral," i.e., it provides just the right amount of phase lag to compensate for the change in path difference as one goes from one side of a groove to the other. This description is helpful in understanding the performance of various approximations to a triangular profile (e.g., discrete steps and rounded edges).
