description

After a period of fundamental theoretical research, the field of diffractive optics is now reaching a time of assessment, when we can define the useful limits of each design procedure. Selecting a suitable procedure derives from a compromise between several factors, including design time, desired optical efficiency, and precision. A major consideration in finding such a compromise has been, and still is today, the availability of technologies which can realize the design by generating the diffracting structure with assigned tolerances.
