Pseudospectral method for the analysis of diffractive optical elements
A pseudospectral method for the analysis of diffractive optical elements is presented. This method is a fullvectorial direct solution of the time-domain Maxwell equations based on a spectral approximation of the spatial derivatives employed within a multidomain framework. The method exhibits little numerical dispersion, and only a few points per wavelength are needed to accurately resolve the p...
متن کاملVector-based synthesis of finite aperiodic subwavelength diffractive optical elements
We present an optimization-based synthesis algorithm for the design of diffractive optical elements (DOE’s) that are finite in extent, have subwavelength features, and are aperiodic. The subwavelength nature of the DOE’s precludes the use of scalar diffraction theory, and their finite extent and aperiodic nature prevents the use of coupled-wave analysis. To overcome these limitations, we apply ...
متن کاملThree-dimensional analysis of subwavelength diffractive optical elements with the finite-difference time-domain method.
We present a three-dimensional (3D) analysis of subwavelength diffractive optical elements (DOE's), using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. To this end we develop and apply efficient 3D FDTD methods that exploit DOE properties, such as symmetry. An axisymmetric method is validated experimentally and is used to validate the more general 3D method. Analyses of subwavelength grating...
متن کاملSpecial Diffractive Optical Elements for Data Encoding
With the rising use of optical communication in different commercial as well as military systems, the issue of optical data security becomes eminent. There are two approaches for dealing with this need: using known encoding methods from electronic communication or developing optical encoding methods. In the first approach, the encoding may be done electronically before converting the informatio...
متن کاملDiffractive Optical Elements for Passive Infrared Detectors
Complex diffractive lens arrays for passive infrared detection systems have been designed and fabricated by laser beam writing and injection moulding. Continuous relief profiles with depths up to 20 μm were originated, characterised and replicated. 1999 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (050.1970, 120.1880)
