We introduce a new computer-generated stratified diffractive optical element (SDOE), combining thin DOEs and volume holograms. SDOEs offer superior reconstruction quality and enable multiplexing of multiple data pages through angular and wavelength selectivity.

Area of Science:

  • Optics and Photonics
  • Holography
  • Diffractive Optics

Background:

  • Diffractive optical elements (DOEs) are crucial for manipulating light.
  • Volume holograms offer high storage capacity but can be complex to fabricate.
  • Existing DOEs have limitations in storage capacity and reconstruction quality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel diffractive optical element: the computer-generated stratified diffractive optical element (SDOE).
  • To present a model and algorithms for calculating SDOEs.
  • To demonstrate the advantages of SDOEs over traditional DOEs.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a theoretical model for SDOEs.
  • Creation of algorithms for calculating SDOE parameters.

  • Conducting simulations to evaluate SDOE performance.
  • Experimental validation of SDOE properties.

    • Main Results:

    • SDOEs demonstrate strong angular and wavelength selectivity.
    • Multiplexing of multiple data pages within a single SDOE is feasible.
    • Reconstruction quality of optimized SDOEs surpasses that of one-layer DOEs.
    • SDOEs can be designed to exhibit a single diffraction order.

    Conclusions:

    • Computer-generated SDOEs represent a significant advancement in diffractive optics.
    • The unique properties of SDOEs enable high-density data storage and retrieval.
    • SDOEs offer improved performance and versatility compared to existing DOE technologies.
