OPTI600D - Diffractive Optical Elements - Theory and Design
Course ID
038423
Course Description
This course includes a physical optics approach to understanding computer-generated diffractive optical elements (DOEs) and their differences with respect to refractive lens elements. Included in the discussion are gratings, focusing elements, aberration compensators, servo-signal generators, axicons, computer-generated holograms (CGHs) and other elements. Design techniques using Zemax ray-tracing software will be demonstrated, and an open-source Matlab program called OptiScan will be used for project assignments.
