Abstract

Diffractive elements are designed to synthesize special purpose distributions of light which extend in three-dimensional domains. These distributions present unique physical properties: high directionality, diffraction limited spot-size, propagation invariance, extinction and regeneration. The diffractive elements are iteratively designed and exhibit an efficient utilization of the information capacity. Experimental results demonstrate good agreement with simulations.
