The ratio of the period of a diffractive element to the input beam size is a critical parameter in a diffractive beam shaper. We measured and calculated the Fraunhofer diffraction patterns of a periodic hologram with an input beam size similar to the period of the hologram. The measured intensities show very complicated patterns and are strongly dependent upon the center position of the laser beam relative to the hologram. Using a diffraction formula for a periodic hologram, we calculated the diffracted light intensities and fit them to the measured ones. The measured and calculated intensities are in good agreement even when the beam diameter of the incident laser is similar to the period of the hologram. We can therefore use this formula to estimate the output of a periodic beam shaper even under such an extreme condition.

A photo-reactive methacrylate monomer having triazine as a core component was examined for photochromic diffractive image formation. Photochromic photopolymer films as a recording media contained a monomer mixture of triazine difunctional metharylate (DT) and ethylene glycol phenyl ether acrylate, binder polymer, photo initiator, and a photochromic spiro-oxazine dye. The content of photochromic dye was changed to examine the effect of photochromophore on diffraction efficiency and real holographic image formation. Holographic recording was performed on the photopolymer film by the combination of reference and probe beam. The diffraction efficiency of the photopolymer film in real-time measurement reached a maximum of $\sim90%$ within 30s. It was highly dependent on the photochromophore contents. After holographic recording, the color of the recorded area was changed under UV light (365 nm) and reversibly bleached to original color upon exposure to a visible light source. Films containing only photochromophore without monomer mixture were not reactive under the recording beam (491nm). Diffractive image formation and mechanism of the holographic recording in the presence of photochromophore will be presented.

An off-axis zone plate is able to focus on a single order while neglecting the zeroth order in a visible imaging system. This allows one to enhance the contrast quality in diffractive images, which is the major advantage of this type of zone plate. However, most previous reflection zone plates are used in focusing X-rays with a small grazing incident angle and are intricately designed with the use of a local grating period. In this study, we suggest the design of an off-axis elliptical zone plate (EZP) that is used to focus a monochromatic light beam with separation between the first and unfocused orders under a large grazing incident angle of 45°. An assumption using the total grating period, which depends on the average and constant grating period, is proposed to calculate the desired distance between the first and zeroth order and to simplify the construction of a novel model off-center EZP. Four diffractive optical elements (DOEs) with different parameters were subsequently fabricated by direct laser lithography and then verified using a performance evaluation system to compare the results from the assumption with the experimental results.

In order to operate CD and DVD compatibly in a pickup system, the objective lens comprise diffractive optical element(DOE) zone and aspheric curvature on its lens surface. The DOE objective lens is effective to simplify this dual-purpose pickup system of the 655nm and 785nm wavelength by using only one lens, but requires more precision manufacturing process and system due to the complicated shape. This paper presents the overall manufacturing process of this objective lens and describes main parameters in each process, for the correction of the aspheric surface in its core, the shrinkage compensation after injection molding, and the uniformity compensation by adjusting molding conditions.

In this paper, we suggested the femtosecond laser processing using the mask which makes Gaussian spatial beam distribution to a normalized distribution by Fresenel diffraction. Holography pattern of the size of $320{\times}320{\mu}m^2$ on the Cr thin film on glass substrate with a pixel size of $5{\times}5{\mu}m^2$ was fabricated according to the pattern generated by the iterative Fourier transform algorithm(IFTA) algorithm. We analysed the damage threshold with an assumption the power distribution as Gaussian profile as 45 $mJ/cm^2$. The regenerated image of letters through the diffractive pattern was well recognized at the screen.

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.
