H. Stark et al., Factors affecting convergence in the design of diffractive optics by iterative vector-space methods, J OPT SOC A, 16(1), 1999, pp. 149-159
Special-purpose diffractive optical devices are often designed by iterative
methods without consideration of convergence properties and related factor
s that affect performance. We examine the properties of iterative algorithm
s in a vector-space setting and illustrate, with examples, differences in c
onvergence performance based on starting point, sequential versus parallel
projections, and intersecting versus nonintersecting sets. (C) 1999 Optical
