چکیده

We present novel, to our knowledge, methods for the analytical design and recording of planar holographic optical elements in thick materials. The recording of each planar holographic element is done by interference of two aspherical waves that are derived from appropriately designed computer-generated holograms such that the element has the desired grating function for minimizing aberrations and closely fulfills the Bragg condition over its entire area. The design and recording methods are described, along with calculated results of representative elements.

Total internal reflection holography for optical interconnections

Planar diffractive optical elements are well suited to fulfill the needs of optical interconnections. They are efficient and can serve as focusing elements, imaging elements, beam deflectors, and fan-out elements. Almost any shape of structure can be realized. This flexibility allows complex and compact interconnections. Two different types of diffractive optical elements exist: the holographic...

Computer- originated aspheric holographic optical elements

R. C. Fairchild* J. R. Fienup Environmental Research Institute of Michigan Radar and Optics Division P.O. Box 8618 Ann Arbor, Michigan 48107 Abstract. Holographic optical elements (HOEs) recorded with arbitrary aspheric wavefronts can now be analyzed with a holographic raytracing design program. The recording wavefronts are defined by analytical phase functions, for example, a two -dimensional ...

Production of Holographic Optical Interconnection Elements

Current trends in computing and telecommunications point to a growing need for devices that are able to switch optical beams carrying information without having to convert them to electric signals. This would create a whole new generation of hybrid optoelectronic processors combining the computational strength of electronics with the very large information throughput density of optics. Holograp...

Shared-hardware alternating operation of a super-parallel holographic optical correlator and a super-parallel holographic random access memory

John T. Shen, MEMBER SPIE Northwestern University Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Evanston, Illinois 60208 Abstract. For practical pattern recognition and tracking systems, it is often useful to have a high-speed random access memory (RAM) that complements a holographic correlator. Recently, we have demonstrated a super-parallel holographic correlator, which uniquely identifie...

Robustness of holographic optical traps against phase scaling errors.

Complex three-dimensional patterns of multifunctional optical traps can be encoded in phase-only computer-generated holograms and projected with the holographic optical trapping technique. The trap-forming holograms, in turn, are implemented as diffractive optical elements whose phase transfer functions generally do not faithfully reproduce the design. We demonstrate that phase encoding errors ...
