Spalding, 2004 SPIE course on Optical Tweeezers Diffractive optical element • • • • • Diffractive optical elements are computer generated holographic devices which can transform an illuminating laser beam into a specified intensity distribution by diffraction rather than refraction or reflection. The diffractive surface of a beam shaping element is split into an array of cells each designed to transform the phase of the coherent illuminating beam by a specified amount. In a reflective diffractive optical element the required phase change at each cell is achieved by accurately producing a sub-wavelength depth profile as shown below. Upon reflection each cell is considered to be emitting a spherical wavefront with a specified phase retardation. These diffracted wavefronts interfere in the reconstruction plane to produce the required intensity profile. The computer algorithms used to calculate the diffraction patterns incorporate the profile of the illuminating laser beam in order to achieve the optimum reconstruction performance. A measured intensity profile can be inputted or a mathematical description of the beam shape may be used. As the number of depth levels reproduced in the diffractive surface increases so does the efficiency and quality of the reconstruction. Diffraction efficiencies in excess of 90% are achievable using the fabrication techniques.
