Nonparaxial iterative calculation of diffractive optical elements focusing in a subwave light spot

Wood's anomalies and spectral uniformity of focusing diffractive optical elements.

We report on simulations and measurements of focusing diffractive optical elements, fabricated as two-level binary optics. The diffractive optical elements are designed to separate and focus four specific wavelengths in the infrared. The simulations are based on a local linear grating model, and predict anomalies similar to Wood's anomalies known from grating diffraction theory. The anomalies a...

Design, Analysis, and Optimization of Diffractive Optical Elements under High Numerical Aperture Focusing

gradual erasure of subjectivity: a study of samuel beckett’s trilogy in the light of postmodernism

ساموئل بکت بیشتر از هر نویسنده دیگری در نیم? دوم قرن بیستم با گفتارش زمان? ما را به آستان? از هم پاشیدگی کشانده است، آستانه ای که در آن مدرنیته با سرانجام گریزان اما غیرقابل اجتناب خود مواجه می شود. در این تحقیق روی مفهوم فردیت و محو آن در دوران پسامدرن تاکید شده و در طی آن سعی شده است که فردیت مدرن و پسامدرن در رمان های سه گانه بکت بررسی گردد. تحقیق حاضر یک بررسی کتابخانه ای و کیفی بر روی سه ر...

Refractive and diffractive X-ray optical elements

The planar microelectronics technology, involving lithography and highly anisotropic plasma etching techniques, allows manufacturing high quality refractive and diffractive lenses, which may be used in hard X-ray microprobe and microscopy applications. These silicon lenses are mechanically robust and can withstand high heat load of the white Xray beam at third generation synchrotron radiation s...

Special 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...
