H. Aagedal et al., CONSEQUENCE OF ILLUMINATION WAVE ON OPTICAL FUNCTION OF NONPERIODIC DIFFRACTIVE ELEMENTS, Optics communications, 109(1-2), 1994, pp. 22-28
Non-periodic diffractive elements may be used to generate a specified
light distribution as the diffraction pattern. The illumination wave h
as a severe influence on the optical function of the DE. First steps o
n the analysis of this situation are performed for coherent and incohe
rent illumination. In the coherent case, an iterative algorithm is int
roduced.
