*Large-angle pattern that due to its symmetry properties is subject to geometrical distortion, if the DOE is used at laser wavelengths significantly different (Δλ > 50nm) from the design wavelength.
Diffractive beam shaping optics offer significant advantages, including precise control over the beam profile and the ability to generate a variety of shapes from a single optical element. They are also compact and lightweight, making them suitable for integration into small optical systems.
A beam splitter in the context of diffractive optics is a device that utilizes diffractive elements to divide a beam of light into two or more separate beams. Unlike traditional beam splitters that use partial reflection and transmission through materials like glass, diffractive beam splitters rely on the principles of diffraction and interference to achieve the splitting.
A diffractive pattern generator leverages the principles of diffraction and interference using specially designed optical elements to create and project specific light patterns for a wide range of scientific, industrial, and commercial applications.
