Designing diffractive optical elements involves balancing uniformity and diffraction efficiency. This study introduces a new iterative Fourier transform algorithm with regularization to achieve the optimal trade-off for improved element performance.

Area of Science:

  • Optics
  • Optical Engineering
  • Computational Physics

Background:

  • Diffractive optical elements (DOEs) are crucial for manipulating light.
  • Designing DOEs faces a fundamental trade-off between output uniformity and diffraction efficiency.
  • This challenge stems from the ill-posed nature of the inverse design problem.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To theoretically investigate the trade-off between uniformity and diffraction efficiency in DOE design.
  • To propose a novel method for optimizing this trade-off.
  • To enhance the performance of diffractive optical elements.

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical analysis based on Tikhonov regularization theory.
  • Development of an iterative Fourier transform algorithm.
