Design optimization of highly efficient spectrum-splitting and beam-concentrating diffractive optical element for lateral multijunction solar cells

Two improved algorithms are proposed to extend a diffractive optical element （DOE） to work under the broad spec- trum of sunlight. An optimum design has been found for the DOE, with a weighted average optical efficiency of about 6.8% better than that of the previous design. The optimization of designing high optical efficiency DOEs will pave the way for future designs of high-efficiency, low-cost lateral multijunction solar cells based on such a DOE.

Diffractive phase element for shrinking focal spot diameter: Design, fabrication, and application to laser beam lithography

A diffractive phase element (DPE) capable of shrinking the main-lobe of the focal spot of an incident beam has been developed. The DPE is expected to be used in laser beam lithography to improve the resolution. Special constraints, which force the focal spot to be small while permitting increase of the side-lobes, are introduced in the design of the DPE using an iterative method based on the Gerchberg-Saxton algorithm. Two kinds of DPEs are fabricated by a laser beam lithography system of our own composition and their performances are experimentally measured. The minimum line width obtained by the system is improved from 1.2 μm to 1.0 μm with the fabricated DPE. Focal depth of the focusing system is discussed.     

利用汉克尔变换设计高斯光束整形衍射元件的应用研究

衍射光学元件由于可以实现对高斯光束的整形而被重视,其通常的设计方法为G-S算法,由于使用傅里叶变换运算量大、费时长,将快速汉克尔变换应用到这些算法中可以极大地提高运算速度,节省运算时间,为设计复杂的光束整形元件提供了高效、可行的方法。本文利用该种方法设计针对中心波长为775 nm、光束束腰口径为6 cm的激光器,成功设计了一个具有二阶相位的折衍混合光学元件。仅单独这一片元件,既可在距离其35 m处得到一半径为200μm的圆形平顶光斑,均方根误差D0.021。当抽样值取2~15时,在普通PC机上运行时间仅为20.05 s,大大节省了优化设计时间(整个优化设计过程往往需要几十次甚是上百次这种运算)。同时利用离子刻蚀技术加工了该折衍混合元件,并进行了实际测试,结果与设计值基本相符,整形效果较好。这种单片的整形元件不仅整形效果好,还有利于与激光器的集成,简化系统的调节。     

DESIGNING A DIFFRACTIVE OPTICAL ELEMENT FOR CONTROLLING THE BEAM PROFILE IN A THREE-DIMENSIONAL SPACE USING THE SIMULATED ANNEALING ALGORITHM

We have designed a spatially quantized diffractive optical element (DOE) for controlling the beam profile in a three-dimensional space with the help of the simulated annealing (SA) algorithm. In this paper, we investigate the annealing schedule and the neighbourhood which are the deterministic parameters of the process that warrant the quality of the SA algorithm. The algorithm is employed to solve the discrete stochastic optimization problem of the design of a DOE. The objective function which constrains the optimization is also studied. The computed results demonstrate that the procedure of the algorithm converges stably to an optimal solution close to the global optimum with an acceptable computing time. The results meet the design requirement well and are applicable.

A diffractive optical element for shaping arbitrary beams

A design method is presented for an optical element that shapes an arbitrary collimated beam. The optical element consists of a pair of diffractive optical elements (DOEs). The outgoing beam is also collimated, and can have any desired intensity profile. The phase functions of the DOEs are computed by minimizing an appropriate cost function under an energy conservation constraint.     

Three-dimensional dynamic optical manipulation by combining a diffractive optical element and a spatial light modulator

Since the introduction of computer-controlled spatial light modulators (SLMs), holographic optical tweezers have become an important tool for dynamic parallel optical manipulation. In this paper we clarify the usefulness of a new configuration for optical trapping that creates light patterns using the combination of a diffractive optical element (DOE) and an SLM. This configuration not only enables the use of the higher part of the SLM’s diffraction efficiency curve, because a simple hologram can be chosen for the SLM, but also achieves three-dimensional dynamic optical manipulation over a large spatial range. By switching blaze-like holograms displayed on the SLM, we demonstrated simultaneous transportation of three 6-μm-diameter polystyrene beads over a range of 90 μm in the vertical direction and 37.5 μm in the horizontal direction. Compared with the same manipulation executed using only the SLM, the range of this method is extended four-fold in the vertical direction and three-fold in the horizontal direction.
