Abstract
The analytical derivation of the phase profile of a diffractive optical ele ment that produces three equi-intense replicas of an input beam with the ma ximum efficiency is presented. Such derivation, based on a functional minim ization procedure, leads to a closed form far the phase profile and to an e fficiency value slightly lower than the predicted theoretical upper bound.
