  • Diffractive Optics: From promise to fruition
    Trends in Optics, 2007
    Co-Authors: Jari Turunen, Frank Wyrowski
    Abstract:

    Publisher Summary This chapter expands the understanding of the nature and the applicability of Diffractive Optics. It describes its relation to established optical technology and some of its fundamental principles, covers the state of the art in the synthesis of Diffractive microstructures with the aid of some representative examples. This chapter illustrates that Diffractive Optics plays a significant role in numerous fields of optical and optoelectronic technology in the forthcoming decade and beyond. The existing and foreseeable applications in optical communication, information technology, display technology, security applications, sensor technology, materials processing, laser beam focusing and profile shaping, laser resonator design, medical instrumentation, and industrial process control ensures the blossoming future of Diffractive Optics, which undetected developments and applications will undoubtedly strengthen. Finally, the chapter discusses the attempts to foresee some of the future directions in the research and application of Diffractive Optics.

  • Wave-optical design and its relation to Diffractive Optics
    Frontiers in Optics 2004 Laser Science XXII Diffractive Optics and Micro-Optics Optical Fabrication and Testing, 2004
    Co-Authors: Frank Wyrowski
    Abstract:

    Actually optical engineering experiences a generalization. Physical Optics modelling and design methods enrich geometric Optics based techniques which still dominate the design of optical systems. The role of Diffractive Optics in this process is discussed.

  • v Diffractive Optics electromagnetic approach
    Progress in Optics, 2000
    Co-Authors: Jari Turunen, Markku Kuittinen, Frank Wyrowski
    Abstract:

    Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the electromagnetic approach for the Diffractive Optics. The chapter focuses on the domain of Diffractive Optics in which rigorous electromagnetic theory is necessary or useful. The chapter describes one approach to rigorous analysis of gratings. The chapter discusses the linear gratings, which employ the first and zeroth diffraction orders. Diffractive elements obtained by modulating these gratings are also discussed in the chapter.. The chapter describes the linear diffraction gratings, which produce two transmitted or reflected orders, the zeroth and (minus) first orders. Together with improved fabrication technology, the use of rigorous theory has pushed Diffractive Optics beyond the limitations of the paraxial approximation, and therefore significantly broadened its applicability in optical engineering.

  • Diffractive Optics in physical-Optics system design
    18th Congress of the International Commission for Optics, 1999
    Co-Authors: Frank Wyrowski, Jari Turunen
    Abstract:

    The use of microstructured interfaces to realize optical functions is the subject of Diffractive Optics. In this talk we discuss the role of Diffractive Optics in optical engineering. To this end optical design is based on a physical-Optics model. It is established that microstructures can present alternative ways to realize optical functions and that they can be the ultimate choice to obtain a desired optical effect.

  • Algorithms and software for Diffractive Optics
