What is a diffractive optical element?

Diffractive Optical Elements (DOEs) are a class of optical elements designed based on the principle of light diffraction, which possess a variety of unique advantages and broad application prospects.

Diffractive optical elements can precisely control the light intensity distribution while maintaining high diffraction efficiency, making them ideal elements for off-axis illumination.

DOEs have high diffraction efficiency, unique dispersion performance, greater design freedom, a wide range of material options, and special optical properties, which have important application prospects in the fields of optical imaging technology, micro-opto-electro-mechanical systems, and more.

Application fields of diffractive optical elements

Diffractive optical elements have been widely applied in the fields of optical sensing, optical communication, computational imaging, laser beam shaping, biomedicine, and optical data storage.
