    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Infrared Technology

    Background:

    • Conventional diffractive optical elements (DOEs) performance analysis relies on analytical scalar diffraction theory and thin-element approximation (TEA).
    • The significant thickness of multilayer diffractive optical elements (MLDOEs) renders TEA inaccurate for performance evaluation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate an accurate method for analyzing MLDOEs performance.
    • To quantify the longitudinal chromatic aberration of MLDOEs.

    Main Methods:

    • Ray-tracing simulations were employed across mid-wave and long-wave infrared bands for various f-numbers.
    • The angular spectrum method was used to assess MLDOE phase delay effects on collimated beams.
    • Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method served as a reference solution.

    Main Results:

    • The ray-tracing method accurately generated optical figures of merit, including point spread function, Strehl ratio, and chromatic focal shift.
    • The simulation approach effectively described and quantified longitudinal chromatic aberration in MLDOEs.
    • Validation against FDTD confirmed the accuracy and utility of the proposed method.

    Conclusions:

    • Ray-tracing simulations offer a valuable and accurate tool for analyzing MLDOEs.
    • This method overcomes the limitations of TEA for thick diffractive optical elements.
    • Accurate characterization of MLDOEs is crucial for advanced infrared optical system design.
