    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Computational Imaging
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Diffractive optical elements (DOEs) are crucial for manipulating light.
    • Designing multilevel DOEs requires efficient phase quantization methods.
    • Conventional forward iterative quantization (FIQ) has limitations in achieving optimal performance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate novel backward iterative quantization (BIQ) methods for designing multilevel DOEs.
    • To compare the performance of BIQ methods against conventional FIQ.
    • To identify the optimal BIQ method for different DOE configurations.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of four types of backward iterative quantization (BIQ) algorithms.
    • Quantization of phase values starting from those furthest from quantization levels.
    • Comparative analysis of BIQ and FIQ methods for 4-level unequal-phase and equal-phase DOEs.

    Main Results:

    • Type 4 BIQ demonstrated superior efficiencies and signal-to-noise ratios for 4-level unequal-phase DOEs.
    • Type 4 BIQ excelled in equal-phase DOEs with large quantization step increments (> 15 degrees).
    • FIQ showed better performance for equal-phase DOEs with small quantization step increments (< 15 degrees).

    Conclusions:

    • Backward iterative quantization (BIQ) presents a viable alternative to FIQ for DOE design.
    • The choice between BIQ and FIQ depends on DOE phase characteristics and quantization step size.
    • Type 4 BIQ is particularly effective for specific DOE designs, offering improved optical performance.
