Accurate characterization of high numerical aperture aspheric microlenses currently is a nonstandard procedure that remains an open challenge. Here, we present and discuss a characterization method based on interferometric and point spread function measure ...
Structured light generation having broad applications in different optical fields, is the topic of this thesis. Our structured light generation strategy is based on applying periodic microoptical elements at the refraction-diffraction limit, under a focuse ...
A variety of modern super-resolution micro-scopy methods provide researchers with previouslyinconceivable biological sample imaging opportunities ata molecular resolution. All of these techniques excel atimaging samples that are close to the coverslip ...
The generation of wide-angle diffraction patterns can be done in different ways using either thin diffractive optical elements with small features sizes or arrays of microoptics with large optical paths that are thick diffractive optical elements. Our aim ...
Nowadays, diffractive optical elements are used for a variety of applications because of their high design flexibility, compact size, and mass productivity. At the same time, they require having high and complex optical functionalities such as a large numb ...
Diffractive optical elements with a large diffraction angle require feature sizes down to sub-wavelength dimensions, which require a rigorous electromagnetic computational model for calculation. However, the computational optimization of these diffractive ...
The present disclosure concerns a holographic system or device comprising at least one optical guiding element (100) configured to redirect light incident from a light source (101) to a target interference plane (103), wherein the optical guiding element i ...
Far field pattern generation is investigated for thick sinusoidal phase grating under a Gaussian beam illumination to obtain a high field of view. We compare the Fraunhofer approximation with the High-NA propagator and demonstrate that the Fraunhofer appro ...
Diffractive optical elements (DOEs) consist of surface reliefs with dimensions in the micrometer range and nanometer precision. Two technologies dominate: Elements replicated in plastic and directly microfabricated elements in fused silica. Plastic DOEs ar ...
Diffractive optical elements are ultra-thin optical components required for constructing very compact optical 3D sensors. However, the required wide-angle diffractive 2D fan-out gratings have been elusive due to design challenges. Here, we introduce a new ...
