The direct sampling (DS) method for diffractive lens encoding is more valid for TM polarization than TE. Fabricated gratings showed good agreement between experimental and theoretical diffraction efficiencies, validating the DS method.

Area of Science:

  • Optics and Photonics
  • Electromagnetism
  • Diffractive Optics

Background:

  • Diffractive optical elements (DOEs) are crucial for various optical systems.
  • Encoding methods like direct sampling (DS) and analytic quantization (AQ) influence DOE performance.
  • Accurate analysis of encoding methods requires rigorous diffraction theory.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the direct sampling (DS) method for diffractive lens encoding using exact electromagnetic diffraction theory.
  • To present new results for TM polarization and compare DS method validity for TM and TE polarizations.
  • To quantitatively assess the impact of DS and AQ encoding on focal spot quality, size, and Strehl ratio.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of the direct sampling (DS) method using exact electromagnetic diffraction theory.

    • Main Results:

    • The scalar-based DS method's validity is more extended for TM polarization than for TE polarization.
    • Experimental and theoretical diffraction efficiencies of DS-encoded blazed gratings showed good agreement.
    • The influence of DS and AQ encoding schemes on focal spot quality, size, and Strehl ratio was quantitatively analyzed.

    Conclusions:

    • The direct sampling (DS) method is a robust technique for diffractive lens encoding, particularly effective for TM polarization.
    • Experimental validation confirms the theoretical predictions for diffraction efficiencies.
    • The study provides a quantitative comparison of DS and AQ encoding schemes, aiding in the design of high-quality diffractive lenses.
