实现长焦深的衍射光学元件设计方法

提出了一种设计长焦深小焦斑衍射光学元件的方法.该方法采用ZEMAX光学设计程序,利用能量守恒原理求解目标函数,并综合考虑焦斑大小保持不变的要求,对目标函数进行了修正,通过修正后的函数来约束输出光束在焦深范围内的轴上位置,从而完成衍射光学元件的相位优化,并求得相应的工艺参数.该元件不但可以使激光束具有长焦深和小焦斑,而且还具有可加工性.焦深范围能达到2 mm,焦深范围内光斑半径在5.32～10.48μm变化,与相同参数的传统光学元件相比,焦深增加了8倍,焦斑半径变化很小,而普通光学元件在此范围内最大焦斑半径达到102.9μm.该方法为长焦深元件的设计、加工与制造提供了可行方案.

Method for design of diffractive optical elements with long focal depth

A method of the design of diffractive optical elements(DOE) with long focal depth and small focus dot is presented.The ZEMAX software was used in the method.The objective function was firstly deduced from the energy conservation principle.And then,the function was further revised to satisfy the requirement of small focus dot within long focal depth and constrain the axial position of output beam to optimize the phase of DOE.A DOE was designed by using the obtained objective function,and the corresponding pa...
