Methods for Computer Design of Diffractive Optical Elements / Edition 1

by Victor A. Soifer

Overview

The first inclusive book on the cutting-edge field of modern optics and its applications
For the first time, all the major aspects of designing planar DOEs are covered in one book, comprised of original methods developed by experts at the Russian Academy of Sciences' Image Processing Systems Institute. The breadth of Methods for Computer Design of Diffractive Optical Elements covers DOE production, beginning from the design techniques and the software, to the fabrication technology, experimental studies, and testing of DOEs, including all major DOE application fields and DOE types. The contributors also detail the three key approaches to designing phase DOEs: a geometric optics (ray-tracing) method, the scalar diffraction (Kirchhoff) method, and the rigorous design based on electromagnetic theory. Methods for Computer Design of Diffractive Optical Elements is an estimable reference for experts in the aerospace industry, research and development institutes, the automobile industry, as well as students and university professors.

From the Publisher

The advent of advances in computers has led to the fabrication of diffractive optical elements (DOEs) for use in a variety of uses, for example to focus laser light and to select laser light modes called . Written by the employees of the Samara Image Processing Systems Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, this text introduces methods of DOE fabrication. After a chapter explaining the basics of the subject, the other chapters were structured that they can be read in any order. Chapters cover iterative methods for designing DOEs, design using electromagnetic theory, technology of DOE fabrication, DOE for focusing laser light, light beams with periodic properties, wave front correction, DOE-based lighting devices, and optical data processing using DOEs.
