Diffractive optics involves the manipulation of light using diffractive optical elements (DOEs). DOEs are widely applied in such areas as telecommunications, electronics, laser technologies and biomedical engineering.This is an authoritative guide to the principles and application of computer-designed diffractive optics. Contributors explore the theoretical aspects underpinning diffractive optics, including the main equations in diffraction theory and diffractive optical transformations; application of electromagnetic field theory for calculating diffractive gratings, related methods in micro-optics; transverse modes of laser radiation and the formation of self-replicating multimode laser beams. The concluding chapters review key applications of DOEs, such as geometrical optics approximation, scalar approximation and optical manipulation of micro objects, with additional consideration of multi-order DOEs and synthesis of DOEs on polycrystalline diamond films. Published in association with Cambridge International Science Publishing
