    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Diffractive Optics
    • Nanophotonics

    Background:

    • Generating light spots smaller than the diffraction limit is crucial for high-resolution imaging and data storage.
    • Previous algorithms allowed for sub-diffraction-limit spot generation but were limited to single wavelengths and planes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To extend previous algorithms for wavelength-multiplexing of sub-diffraction-limit spots in three dimensions.
    • To demonstrate a diffractive fan-out element capable of generating multiple spots at different wavelengths and planes.

    Main Methods:

    • Extended a prior design algorithm to incorporate modulation distributions for multiple wavelengths and output planes.
    • Designed and demonstrated a diffractive fan-out element for generating two-wavelength spot arrays on two distinct planes.
    • Evaluated spot sizes and performed numerical calculations for multi-wavelength multiplexing feasibility.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully demonstrated wavelength-multiplexing for generating sub-diffraction-limit spots.
    • Achieved average spot sizes reduced to 79% of the diffraction limit.
    • Numerical simulations confirmed the feasibility of seven-wavelength multiplexing with effective cross-talk suppression.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed diffractive element enables efficient generation of sub-diffraction-limit spot arrays across multiple wavelengths and planes.
    • The extended algorithm and demonstrated device pave the way for advanced optical systems requiring high spatial resolution and multiplexing capabilities.
