M. Ghisoni et al., SINGLEMODE AND MULTIMODE VCSELS OPERATING WITH CONTINUOUS RELIEF KINOFORM FOR FOCUSED SPOT-ARRAY GENERATION, IEEE photonics technology letters, 9(11), 1997, pp. 1466-1468
We report the use of both single-and multimode VCSEL's operating at 85
0 mn as the illumination source for a continuous-relief diffractive op
tical element (DOE) fabricated in resist on quartz. The system produce
s a 4 x 4 array of focussed spots from a single optical input. The uni
formity error was found to be approximate to 10% in all cases, and the
overall system efficiency approximate to 35% A single spot-coupling e
fficiency of 70% into a multimode fiber placed 20 mm from the DOE was
also measured.
