This is a new and greatly expanded edition of what has become one of the best known
introductions to the principles, techniques and applications of optical holography. Where …

Laser Beam Shaping: Theory and Techniques addresses the theory and practice of every
important technique for lossless beam shaping. Complete with experimental results as well …

This text examines the technology behind the plethora of modern industrial and domestic
technologies which incorporate micro-optics eg. CDs, cameras, automated manufacturing …

The design of advanced diffraction gratings that produce spot arrays is highly influenced by
the computational capabilities that are available to the designer. This is due to the increased …

Separable binary-phase array illuminators for fan-out up to 1024× 1024 and~ 65% two-
dimensional efficiency are designed by simulated annealing with constraints for maximizing …

An essential aspect of digital diffractive optics is the inverse problem of how to proceed from
the desired wavefield in space to the design of a diffractive element that is able to form this …

Recent attempts to fabricate surfaces with custom reflectance functions boast impressive
angular resolution, yet their spatial resolution is limited. In this paper we present a method to …

The effects of mask alignment and etch-depth errors in the array uniformity error U and
diffraction efficiency η of multilevel-grating array illuminators are evaluated numerically. Also …

We describe the design, fabrication, and experimental demonstration of a circular Dammann
grating element generating a point-spread function of two concentric rings with equal …

[57] ABSTRACT A phase diffraction grating apparatus which is usable to generate an array
of N spots, where n is an even integer, and the N spots are substantially equally spaced. The …
