In this paper, the fundamental properties of diffractive optical element were investigated. Also, this work deals with theoretical approaches for achromatization in DOE's optical system based on thin lens theory. It is found that achromatization could be satisfied by one hybrid lens only, which is composed of a diffractive and a refractive element. In order to have compact optical system, we used the tele-photo type lens composed of a positive and a negative power elements instead of retro-focus lens. From the Gaussian brackets and Seidel aberration theory, the initial design was numerically obtained. The aberration properties of an initial design was aplanat and flat field. In order to correct the chromatic aberrations, refractive and diffractive elements were used on front element. This hybrid lens is also useful for correction of higher order aberrations. Compared to conventional design composed of refractive lenses only, this approach dramatically improved the compactness of the optical system. Finally, residual aberration balancing results in a lens with focal length of 3.89 mm and overall length of 5.19 mm, which has enough performance over an f-number of 4.0. Also, it is expected to fulfill all the requirements of a digital still camera lens. This optical system is superior to the current refractive lens system in the number of elements, weight, and aberration properties. rties.

In this paper, the geometrical properties of the optical system for Head Mounted Display (HMD) were investigated. Also, this work deals with the concept for an optical system design bated on Diffractive Optical Elements (DOE). In designing the optical system for HMD, it is considered that the optical system should have compact, high performance, and comfortable properties while user sees the picture. In order to satisfy these requirements, we applied DOE and aspheric surfaces to the lens so that correction of color and monochromatic aberrations could be obtained. Also, the design and evaluation for the optical system were carried out using the generalized model of the human eye. Finally, it was expected to fulfill all the requirements of an HMD system.

회절 광학 소자(Diffractive optical element)는 광학 시스템에 있어서 광을 조절하기 위하여 굴절(refraction) 또는 반사(reflection)보다는 주기 구조(periodic structures)에 의한 회절(diffraction)을 이용한 소자라 할 수 있다. DOE의 장점으로는 수차(aberration)가 없는 point-to-point 이미지가 가능하며 광 power를 사용한 평판(flat subface)이 가능하고 비구면과 같은 수차 조절이 가능하다. 단점으로는 HOE(Hologram Optical Element: DOE의 일종)의 수차가 이 구조의 특정 파장에서 나타나고 가시영역의 일정 영역에서 매우 분산적 (dispersive)이다. 또한 상대적으로 시장의 성장에 비하여 찾는 고객의 수가 적다는 점이다.(중략)

프라운호퍼 회절에 의하여 주어진 세기 무늬를 발생시키는 회절광학소자(Diffractive Optical Element, DOE)는 회절무늬소자, 키노폼(kinoform), 컴퓨터 푸리에 홀로그램 (computer-generated Fourier hologram) 등으로 불리우며, 광정보처리, 광연결, 레이저가공에서 중요한 역할을 한다. 이 소자를 설계하는 매우 다양한 방법들이 제안되었는데, iterative Fourier transform 알고리즘(IFTA)과 이를 변형한 알고리즘들이 가장 널리 사용된다. IFTA는 fast Fourier transform(FFT)를 활용하므로 계산시간이 절감되지만 국소 최소점에 고착되는 stagnation문제가 있어 이를 해결하기 위한 많은 변형된 알고리즘들이 제안되었다. 본 연구에서는 최근에 제안한 new Pnoise algorithm with hybrid input-output algorithm(NPA-HIOA)$^{(1)}$ 의 설계 성능을 IFTA, hybrid input-output 알고리즘(HIOA), new Pnoise 알고리즘(NPA)$^{(2)}$ , Nonlinear Least-Square (NLS)$^{(3)}$ 등의 기존의 알고리즘들과 비교하고자 한다.

In this paper, we report the design and fabrication of binary diffractive optical elements (DOEs) for random-dot-pattern projection for Schlieren imaging. We selected the binary phase level and a pitch of 10 ㎛ for the DOE, based on cost effectiveness and ease of manufacture. We designed the binary DOE using an iterative Fourier-transform algorithm with binary phase optimization. During initial optimization, we applied a computer-generated pseudorandom dot pattern of uniform intensity as a target pattern, and found significant intensity nonuniformity across the field. Based on the evaluation of the initial optimization, we weighted the target random dot pattern with Gaussian profiles to improve the intensity uniformity, resulting in the improvement of uniformity from 52.7% to 90.8%. We verified the design performance by fabricating the designed binary DOE and a beam projector, to which the same was applied. The verification confirmed that the projector produced over 10,000 random dot patterns over 430 mm × 430 mm at a distance of 5 meters, as designed, but had a slightly less uniformity of 84.5%. The fabrication errors of the DOE, mainly edge blurring and spacing errors, were strong possibilities for the difference.

An X-ray diffractometer which has various X-ray optics can give qualitative and quantitative information for a sample using a nondestructive analysis method. A parallel beam optic passes the parallel beam and removes divergent beam generated from an X-ray tube. The parallel beam optic used in the X-ray diffractometer was fabricated by wire cut and grading of stainless steel plates and was evaluated its performance using an X-ray imaging system. The measured parallelization of 6.6 mrad for the fabricated the parallel beam optic was a very close to the expected value of 6 mrad. An X-ray imaging technique for evaluating the parallel beam optics can estimate parallelization for each plate and can be used to other X-ray optics.
