Abstract:The methods to generate intensity signals using diffractive elements bear importance for optical signal processing and printing applications. In principle, the diffractive element (DE) can be viewed as optical memory carrying encoded information about a signal wave s(x), x ∈ ℝ2, which can be generated in a certain output plane by illuminating the DE with a specified wavefront. The capability to generate a certain signal wave, defined in a signal window, is called the optical function of a DE. On one hand, a DE… Show more
