DOE and Applications
DOE means Diffractive Optical Element in the optics field. Gratings are also DOEs, which have periodic structures. DOE here is generally referred to non-periodic small diffractive optical element, with a total element dimension of millimeters in general.
DOE using a thin micro structure pattern can alter the phase of the light propagated through it, which is also referred to as DPE (Diffractive Phase Element). A properly-designed phase pattern can manipulate the light to almost any desired intensity profile.
DOEs have wide applications in industrial, medical, and scientific research fields. Here are some examples:
1. Laser beam shaping
During material processing, like laser cutting, laser drilling, and material ablation. The beam profile of the laser in the working plane is crucial to the quality of the end results. By selectively changing the profile, improvements in the process can be made. Laser beam profile can be shaped from Gaussian to uniform top hat either round or square.
2. Generate geometric patterns, such as lines, circles, squares
The application of these patterns can be used as viewfinder patterns, three-dimensional (3-D) surface measurements in precisely defined dimensions in a specified plane, and representing rulers or scales.
3. Head-mounted displays (Virtual Reality)
Diffractive optics can play a key role in head-mounted displays due to its reduced size and weight, and possible low-cost mass production. Four areas are actively studied to replace conventional refractive or reflective optics: Magnifier optics, combiner optics, head, and hand tracking, and optical data interface.
4. Lithography and holographic lighting
Beam homogenization in mask projection systems, structured pupil illumination, homogeneous field illumination for normal and highly tilted plane
5. More applications
- Eliminate spherical and chromatic aberration in industrial and medical diffractive focusing elements
- Generate customized letters or logos
- Medical laser treatments and diagnostic instruments, such as tattoo, hair removal.
- Bar code scanner
- Random Phase Plate
- Wave-Front Generators or corrector
