Binary Optics Technology: The Theory and Design of Multi-Level Diffractive Optical Elements.

摘要

Multi-level diffractive phases have the potential to significantly improved the performance of many conventional lens systems. The theory, design and fabrication of these diffractive profiles are described in detail. Basic examples illustrate the potential usefulness, as well as the limitations, of these elements. Keywords: Binary optics; Diffractive optical elements. (JHD)
