Diffractive Optical Elements(DOEs) diffracts incident light using the diffraction phenomenon of light to generate a desired diffraction image. In recent years, the use of diffraction optics, which can replace existing refractive optical elements with flat plates, has been increased by implementing various optical functions that could not be implemented in refractive optical devices and by becoming miniaturized and compacted optical elements. Direct laser lithography is typically used to effectively fabrication such a diffractive optical element in a large area with a low process cost. In this study, the process conditions for fabricating patterns of diffractive optical elements in various shapes were found using direct laser lithographic system, and optical performance evaluation was performed through fabrication.

300mm F/4.0 telephotolens with diffractive hybrid lens was designed, and its optical performance was tested and compared with a traditional lens system. DOE(Diffractive Optical Element) reconstructs wavefronts using wave phenomena of light to focus the incident light onto the focal point and has negative Abbe number while a traditional lens uses geometrical phenomena of light and has positive Abbe number. Therefore, a diffractive hybrid lens containing both refractive and diffractive elements can remarkably correct chromatic aberration and spherical aberration of an optical system. We investigated and analyzed the optical properties of a diffractive hybrid lens for the visible spectrum, and we used a difractive hybrid lens to design and evaluate a 300mm F/4.0 telephotolens without the special LD(Low Dispersive) glass lens which is costly and difficult to manufacture. Most traditional telephotolenses use the special LD glass for chromatic aberration correcton. Optical performance tests such as resolution and characteristics of aberration of both lens systems using a diffractive hybrid lens and traditional lens were performed.

Micromolding methods such as micro-injection molding and micro-compression molding are most suitable for mass production of plastic micro-optics with low cost. In this study, plastic micro-optical components, such as refractive microlenses and diffractive optical elements(DOEs) with various grating patterns, were fabricated using micro-compression molding process. The mold inserts were made by ultrapricision mechanical machining and silicon etching. A micro compression molding system was designed and developed. Polymer powders were used as molded materials. Various defects found during molding were analyzed and the process was optimized experimentally by controlling the governing process parameters such as histories of mold temperature and compression pressure. Mim lenses of hemispherical shape with $250{\mu}m$ diameter were fabricated. The blazed and 4 stepped DOEs with $24{\mu}m$ pitch and $5{\mu}m$ depth were also fabricated. Optical and geometrical properties of plastic molded parts were tested by interferometric technique.

본 논문에서는 회절광학소자를 이용하여 컴팩트형 디지털 스틸 카메라용 광학계를 설계 및 평가하였다. 기존의 디지털 스틸 카메라용 광학계가 retrofocus 형태인 것에 비해 컴팩트한 광학계를 얻기 위해서 telephoto 형태로 구성하였다. 또한, 본 광학계를 회절광학소자와 굴절광학소자가 결합된 hybrid 플라스틱 렌즈 1매와 순수한 굴절광학소자 1매로 구성하여 무게, 부피등을 줄이고자 하였다. Gauss 괄호를 이용한 근축 광선추적을 통해 초기 설계치를 수치 해석적인 방법으로 구하였다. 제1면을 비구면화하고, 색수차를 보정하기 위해 제2면을 회절광학소자를 이용하여 설계된 광학계는 1/4" CCD, F/4에 대응되도록 최적화하였다. 최종적으로 설계된 광학계의 초점거리는 3.89mm, 전장(overall length)은 5.19mm로서 컴팩트하며, 현재의 디지털스틸 카메라용 광학계에서 요구하는 성능을 충분히 만족하며, 차세대 화상통신용 광학계에 응용될 수 있을것으로 기대된다.

An arrayed diffractive optical element design for the beam-shaping of a multi-array light source is proposed. This is an essential device for recent optical security and face recognition applications. In practice, we devise a DC noise reduction technique featuring high fabrication error tolerance regarding the multi-array light source diffractive optical elements, as a necessary part of the proposed design method. The spherical diverging illumination leads to DC-conjugate noise spreading. The main idea is tested experimentally, and the multi-array light source diffraction pattern is investigated numerically.

The Near to Eye Display (NED) solves the problem of having a display larger than a small portable device. The virtual image of the NED is created using a microdisplay and imaging optics. It is important that the optics does not interfere with the human visual system and that the device is light, compact and easy to wear. In this paper the principles of a biocular NED, which is based on a novel diffractive Exit Pupil Expander (EPE), are presented. The optical system is compact and intrinsically free from distortions and misalignments.

A novel image quality evaluation method, which is based on combination of the rigorous grating diffraction theory and the ray-optic method, is proposed. It is applied for design optimization and, tolerance analysis of optical imaging systems implementing diffractive optical elements (DOE). The evaluation method can predict the quality and resolution of the image on the image sensor plane through the optical imaging system. Especially, we can simulate the effect of diffraction efficiencies of DOE in the camera lenses module, which is very effective for predicting different color sense and MTF performance. Using this method, we can effectively determine the fabrication tolerances of diffractive and refractive optical elements such as the variations' in profile thickness, and the shoulder of the DOE, as well as conventional parameters such as decenter and tilt in optical-surface alignments. A DOE-based 2M-resolution camera lens module designed by the optimization process based on the proposed image quality evaluation method shows ${\sim}15%$ MTF improvement compared with a design without such an optimization.

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)

본 논문에서는 Head Mounted Display(HMD)용 광학계의 기하학적인 특징과 회절광학소자를 이용한 HMD용 광학계 설계의 개념에 대해 논의하였다. 사용자가 영상을 볼 때 편안함을 갖도록 HMD용 광학계는 경량화, 소형화 및 고해상도를 만족해야 한다. 이러한 요구조건들을 만족시키기 위해 본 논문에서는 회절광학소자와 양면 비구면화를 적용하여 색수차와 단색수차를 보정하였다. 또한 인간의 눈을 모델링하여 일반화한 모형안을 HMD용 광학계의 설계 및 성능평가에 적용하였다.
