Methods for Computer Design of Diffractive Optical Elements

Discover the intricate world of diffractive optical elements with Methods for Computer Design of Diffractive Optical Elements by Victor A. Soifer. Published by John Wiley & Sons Inc in 2002, this comprehensive hardback spans an impressive 784 pages, making it an essential resource for both students and professionals in the field of optics.

This authoritative text delves into the production of diffractive optical elements (DOEs), covering all major applications and types. The contributors provide in-depth insights into three key approaches for designing phase DOEs: the geometric optics (ray-tracing) method, the scalar diffraction (Kirchhoff) method, and the design based on electromagnetic theory. Whether you're looking to enhance your understanding of optical design or seeking practical applications, this book is a valuable addition to your library.
