A new iterative algorithm improves diffractive optical element design using rigorous coupled-wave analysis. This method enhances light amplitude convergence for microlenses, outperforming traditional algorithms.

Area of Science:

  • Optics and Photonics
  • Computational Electromagnetics

Background:

  • Diffractive optical element (DOE) design is crucial for various optical applications.
  • Existing methods like Gerchberg-Saxton and Yang-Gu rely on Fourier transforms, limiting accuracy due to far-field and monochromatic assumptions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a more accurate and efficient iterative algorithm for DOE design.
  • To overcome limitations of traditional Fourier-transform-based methods.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed an iterative algorithm incorporating rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA).
  • Utilized RCWA to model light-field propagation, replacing Fourier transforms.
  • Verified the algorithm's performance through simulations for a converging lens design.

Main Results:

  • The proposed RCWA-based algorithm demonstrated superior performance in converging light amplitude for microlens applications.
  • Achieved 7.8% and 10.8% improvement over Gerchberg-Saxton and Yang-Gu algorithms, respectively.
  • The algorithm's results closely matched simulated annealing solutions with only 1.89% error.

Conclusions:

  • The RCWA-based iterative algorithm offers enhanced accuracy and efficiency for diffractive optical element design.
  • This method provides a significant improvement over conventional algorithms, particularly for microlens applications.
  • The proposed approach is a viable alternative to established methods like simulated annealing.
