Optical filters with fractal transmission spectra based on diffractive optics.
The duality between the axial irradiance distribution originated by any circularly symmetric diffracting aperture under monochromatic illumination and its diffracted spectral intensity at a fixed on-axis point under broadband illumination is highlighted and experimentally investigated. Two applications are derived from this basic result. On the one hand, we suggest the use of a broadband source...
متن کاملWood'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...
متن کاملTwo-Photon Imaging with Diffractive Optical Elements
Two-photon imaging has become a useful tool for optical monitoring of neural circuits, but it requires high laser power and serial scanning of each pixel in a sample. This results in slow imaging rates, limiting the measurements of fast signals such as neuronal activity. To improve the speed and signal-to-noise ratio of two-photon imaging, we introduce a simple modification of a two-photon micr...
متن کاملOptical signal processing with illumination-encoded filters
Recently, computer vision researchers have shown that orthogonal functions and computational techniques from the signal processing framework can be mapped directly into the scene using projector-camera systems. These scene-space signal processing algorithms are achieved with illumination-encoded functions as primitives and computations derived from surface reflection models. Some examples of th...
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 ...
