    Quantizing diffractive optical elements can cause pattern deviations. This study introduces a method using non-periodic phase gratings to compensate for these errors, improving diffraction pattern accuracy.

    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Diffractive Optics
    • Computational Optics

    Background:

    • Quantization of phase-delay profiles in diffractive optical elements (DOEs) often introduces significant errors in diffraction patterns.
    • These errors can limit the performance and applicability of DOEs in various optical systems.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel method for mitigating quantization-related deviations in the diffraction patterns of diffractive optical elements.
    • To demonstrate the effectiveness of this method for periodic phase gratings, specifically Fourier-array illuminators.

    Main Methods:

    • The proposed method involves deviating from strict periodicity in phase gratings.
    • This introduces additional degrees of freedom that are utilized to actively compensate for quantization errors.

  • The technique is applied to design Fourier-array illuminator gratings using an iterative Fourier-transform algorithm.

    • Main Results:

    • The method successfully compensates for quantization-induced deviations in the diffraction pattern.
    • Demonstrated improved accuracy in Fourier-array illuminator gratings designed with the new approach.
    • Preservation of desired diffraction characteristics despite phase quantization.

    Conclusions:

    • Deviating from strict periodicity offers a viable strategy to overcome quantization limitations in diffractive optical elements.
    • The described method provides a practical solution for designing high-accuracy DOEs, particularly for applications like Fourier-array illumination.
    • This approach enhances the robustness and fidelity of diffractive optical elements in the presence of quantization.
