    Area of Science:

    • Optical Engineering
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Traditional polychromatic integral diffraction efficiency (PIDE) is used for multilayer diffractive optical element (MLDOE) material selection.
    • PIDE relies on the thin element approximation, leading to inaccuracies for thick MLDOEs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel material selection method for MLDOEs that accounts for element thickness.
    • To evaluate the performance of MLDOEs designed with the new method compared to PIDE-selected designs.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed the geometric optics material selection method (GO-MSM) using transmission, total internal reflection, and component thickness.
    • Utilized finite-difference time-domain simulations to assess optical performance (Strehl ratio).
    • Tested the methods in mid-wave and long-wave infrared spectral bands.

    Main Results:

    • The GO-MSM successfully identified MLDOE designs with optimal performance.
    • MLDOEs designed using PIDE showed poor performance, especially for thick elements.
    • Filling MLDOE gaps with low-index materials like air significantly degrades image quality.

    Conclusions:

    • The GO-MSM is a more accurate approach for selecting materials for thick MLDOEs.
    • Accurate material selection is crucial for achieving high-performance diffractive optical elements.
    • Understanding material interactions within MLDOE structures is vital for optical design.
