Talbot array illuminator with multilevel phase gratings

Abstract: Construction of one-dimensional multilevel phase gratings is described that, when illuminated by a coherent plane wave, lead to the formation of amplitude binary gratings with an arbitrary value of the opening ratio. The gratings are proposed as array illuminators that can provide a significantly high compression factor together with a large number of uniformly illuminated points.

“…In previous works, the DFnT is formulated for describing the coefficients of Talbot image [20]- [24]. Degeneracy exists in the DFnT matrices: the size of DFnT matrices is N/2 if N ≡ 0 and 2 (mod 4), while the size of DFnT matrices is N if N ≡ 1 and 3 (mod 4).…”

“…The compression ratio, ∆/L, is a measure of its concentration capacity, and equals the value of integer q [19]. The TAI phases can be determined when the propagation is considered in the reversed way [21], [22], as shown in Fig. 2.…”

“…x and b = Λ y are lateral periodicities, and c = Z T (n b ) is the longitudinal periodicity in medium n b . This spatial distribution of laterally and longitudinally periodic intensity distributions can be controlled by the phase profile (φ(x, y, z)) of the diffractive structure [23,24]. Figure 1a shows the proposed three-level DOE having a specific phase profile so that in the near-field phase-fronts of interfering diffracted beams interfere to create a diamond-like intensity distribution.…”
