High-efficiency, multilevel, diffractive optical elements
TL;DR: In this article, a photoresist layer on an optical element substrate is exposed through the first mask and then etched, and the process is repeated for the second and subsequent masks to create a multistep configuration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diffractive optical elements for use in infrared systems
TL;DR: An approach to constructing high quality diffractive elements has been developed using standard integrated circuit techniques and it is possible to implement arbitrary phase profiles since the elements are computer generated.
Patent
Method of imaging using a liquid crystal display device
Gary J. Swanson,Ronald P. Gale +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a display having a number of pixel elements, each capable of transmitting a predetermined spectral region, is positioned within the near field region of the multilevel optical phase element so as to receive the light dispersed by the multi-level phase element.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coherent laser addition using binary phase gratings
TL;DR: Binary phase diffraction gratings are shown to couple light coherently from a laser array into a single on-axis beam with a coupling efficiency of 68.4%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient array illuminator using binary-optics phase plates at fractional-Talbot planes
James R. Leger,Gary J. Swanson +1 more
TL;DR: A phase plate based on the fractional-Talbot effect is described that converts a single expanded laser beam into a regular array of uniformly illuminated apertures with virtually 100% efficiency.
