“…Figure 4 shows quantitatively the diffraction effi- The period of the interference pattern A is A = A/(2 sin tO). Therefore we obtain 1/A = 2 (1/p, -1/p2), (2) which is independent of the wavelength A. This Note that the zero diffraction orders are fairly low and most of the incoming light (75%) is diffracted into the desired beams.…”

“…Planar optics is a concept for the microintegration of freespace components upon the surfaces of a single glass substrate in a compact and robust manner [43]. It can be implemented with diffractive and refractive microelements.…”

This paper reviews the design of some optical systems for coupling and interconnection by GRIN components. The optical systems designed with these components are based on imaging and transforming properties of such components to carry out specific functions. First of all, a brief description of light propagation through GRIN materials will be given. After that, a device to couple light by a GRIN fiber lens into fibers of different core sizes with low loss is described. The coupling efficiency as well as the coupling loss are studied versus variation of the GRIN fiber lens length and the refractive-index profile of the coupler. The design of crossover and parallel interconnects by using a GRIN planar structure will be presented. The optical analysis includes the PSF for describing the performance of the device and the SBP for estimating the numbers of channels that can be handled. The dependence of the number of channels on the wavelength of light and the transverse aperture of the planar interconnect is shown.Spherical GRIN materials: Luneburg (top) and Maxwell's fisheye (bottom) lenses.

“…Eventually, we hope to propose applications of computer-generated pseudo-deep holograms (CPHs). This seems to be promising, because the typical CPH set-up resembles what Jahns and Huang [7] called 'planar integration of freespace optical components'. Furthermare, we are attracted by pseudo-deep holograms, because they are a case of the design philosophy that a sacrifice in generality may yield a significant gain of convenience.…”
