Abstract

Space-invariant, multilevel, diffractive phase elements are designed for large-scale pattern-formation tasks. The importance of the design algorithm and the phase-encoding geometry of the diffractive element is discussed with regard to the performance of both on- and off-axis reconstruction, notably for pixelated gratings. A new phase-encoding scheme is presented that results in an increase of the diffraction efficiency for the off-axis case. © 1997 Optical Society of America.
