Synthesis of arbitrarily discrete, diffractionless beams using dual-wavelength diffractive objective lens for optical pickup head.

چکیده
Sensitivity to disk vibration and large component number, which complicates assembly and optical alignment, are the drawbacks of traditional optical pickup systems. Here, a numerical method of designing a dual-wavelength diffractive objective lens with high numerical aperture for generating arbitrarily discrete, diffractionless beams with extended depth of focus is presented. Simulation and experimental results show that the optimized design provides better resolution, longer depth of focus and higher diffractive efficiency. The proposed design is promising for next-generation optical pickup systems that are more robust to disk vibration and easier to assemble.

Experimental generation of arbitrarily shaped diffractionless superoscillatory optical beams.
We present, theoretically and experimentally, diffractionless optical beams displaying arbitrarily-shaped sub-diffraction-limited features known as superoscillations. We devise an analytic method to generate such beams and experimentally demonstrate optical superoscillations propagating without changing their intensity distribution for distances as large as 250 Rayleigh lengths. Finally, we fin...
متن کاملEnhanced resolution and throughput of Fresnel incoherent correlation holography (FINCH) using dual diffractive lenses on a spatial light modulator (SLM).
Fresnel incoherent correlation holography (FINCH) records holograms under incoherent illumination. FINCH was implemented with two focal length diffractive lenses on a spatial light modulator (SLM). Improved image resolution over previous single lens systems and at wider bandwidths was observed. For a given image magnification and light source bandwidth, FINCH with two lenses of close focal leng...
متن کاملFirst-order and multi-order diffractive lens using a device with 8π phase modulation range
First-order and multi-order diffractive lenses are implemented using a LCoS modulator with 8π-phase modulation range for a 514nm operation wavelength. Their performance is compared in terms of energy efficiency in the first and zero order diffractive planes. The influence of the display calibration is evaluated for each phase modulation range. Keywords—diffractive optical element; spatial light...
متن کاملMicro objective lens with NA 0.65 for the blue-light small-form-factor optical pickup head.
A micro objective lens with the numerical aperture (NA) of 0.65 and clear aperture of 1.1mm was designed, fabricated, and tested for the proposed blue-light small-form-factor optical pickup head system. It adopted the finite optical conjugation and could be produced by using the glass molding technique. The experimental results verify the optical performance near the diffraction-limited focus s...
متن کاملPlanar super-oscillatory lens for sub-diffraction optical needles at violet wavelengths
Planar optical lenses are fundamental elements of miniaturized photonic devices. However, conventional planar optical lenses are constrained by the diffraction limit in the optical far-field due to the band-limited wavevectors supported by free-space and loss of high-spatial-frequency evanescent components. As inspired by Einstein's radiation 'needle stick', electromagnetic energy can be delive...
