Abstract

A technique using a holographic optical element to split one incident laser beam into hundreds is proposed. The holographic optical element is fabricated with hexagonal packed lattice structure using 4-beam interference method. When the element is illuminated by a single laser beam with normal incidence, hundreds of beams are generated by diffraction. The element has the potential to be used as the device for interconnection and clock distribution in optical and electronic systems.
