This study introduces an iterative Fourier-transform algorithm (IFTA) with phase optimization to enhance diffractive optical elements (DOEs). The method improves DOE performance by minimizing wavefront differences, ensuring consistent high diffraction efficiency regardless of initial conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Optics and Photonics
  • Computational Imaging

Background:

  • Diffractive Optical Elements (DOEs) are crucial for manipulating light wavefronts.
  • Phase-only DOEs offer advantages in efficiency and compactness.
  • Existing iterative Fourier-transform algorithms (IFTAs) can be sensitive to initial conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel IFTA with phase optimization for designing phase-only multilevel DOEs.
  • To improve the performance and reliability of DOEs.
  • To investigate the impact of initial conditions on DOE diffraction efficiency.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an iterative Fourier-transform algorithm (IFTA) incorporating phase optimization.
  • Phase optimization minimizes mean-squared error using an amplitude-weighted probability-density function during iterations.
