A method of writing a diffraction grating into a photosensitive optical transmission medium is disclosed, in which a first phase mask is used to generate an interference pattern in a second phase mask substrate and using photolithographic techniques. This produces a second phase mask, which is then use to write a diffraction grating into a photosensitive optical transmission medium. This method enables the line placement in a phase mask to be improved by averaging out the line placement errors.
