Phase function encoding of diffractive structures.

چکیده
We analyzed the direct sampling (DS) method for diffractive lens encoding, using exact electromagnetic diffraction theory. In addition to previously published research [Pure Appl. Opt. 7, 565 (1998)] we present what we believe to be new results for TM polarization. We found that the validity of the scalar-based DS method is even more extended for TM than for TE polarization. Additionally, we fabricated and characterized DS-encoded blazed gratings and found good agreement between the experimental and theoretical diffraction efficiencies. We analyzed quantitatively the influence of the encoding schemes DS and analytic quantization (AQ) on the quality of the focal spot. We also investigated the focal spot sizes (FWHM) and the Strehl ratios of the DS- and the AQ-encoded cylindrical lenses.

Features of Phase Wave Front Binary Encoding and Their Potential Utilization for Alignment Purposes
We make use of binary encoding of a phase wave front for the generation of diffractive elements. Binary encoding enables to introduce a constant phase shift between different diffraction orders. We describe the main features of phase wave front encoding and then suggest to apply them for a design of a diffractive alignment element. The proposed positioning tool is a modified version of the hype...
متن کاملEffect of Phase-Encoding Reduction on Geometric Distortion and BOLD Signal Changes in fMRI
Introduction Echo-planar imaging (EPI) is a group of fast data acquisition methods commonly used in fMRI studies. It acquires multiple image lines in k-space after a single excitation, which leads to a very short scan time. A well-known problem with EPI is that it is more sensitive to distortions due to the used encoding scheme. Source of distortion is inhomogeneity in the static B0 field that ...
متن کاملDiffractive generalized phase contrast for adaptive phase imaging and optical security.
We analyze the properties of Generalized Phase Contrast (GPC) when the input phase modulation is implemented using diffractive gratings. In GPC applications for patterned illumination, the use of a dynamic diffractive optical element for encoding the GPC input phase allows for on-the-fly optimization of the input aperture parameters according to desired output characteristics. For wavefront sen...
متن کاملGeneralized diffractive optical elements with asymmetric harmonic response and phase control.
We report a method to generate phase-only diffractive beam splitters allowing asymmetry of the target diffracted orders, as well as providing a tailored phase difference between the diffracted orders. We apply a well-established design method that requires the determination of a set of numerical parameters, and avoids the use of image iterative algorithms. As a result, a phase lookup table is d...
متن کاملImproving security of double random phase encoding with chaos theory using fractal images
This study presents a new method based on the combination of cryptography and information hiding methods. Firstly, the image is encoded by the Double Random Phase Encoding (DRPE) technique. The real and imaginary parts of the encoded image are subsequently embedded into an enlarged normalized host image. DRPE demands two random phase mask keys to decode the decrypted image at the destination. T...
