“…Beam expanders for magnifying a narrow collimated beam into a beam of larger diameter typically comprise a telescopic assembly of two refractive lenses or mirrors along a common axis with a common focal point. They have been implemented in a variety of applications, such as lasers, [1][2][3] fibers, 4 medical diagnostics, 5 holography, 6 -8 x-ray optics, 9 and space and atmospheric research. 10,11 When using monochromatic light, it may be advantageous to replace the refractive lenses with separated diffractive optical elements ͑DOEs͒ with the optical power 12 to form compact configurations.…”

Novel compact beam expanders that could be useful for applications such as providing light to flat panel displays are presented. They are based on a planar configuration in which three spatially linear gratings are recorded on one transparent substrate, so as to expand a narrow incoming beam in two dimensions. We present the design and recording procedures along with results, showing a relatively uniform intensity of the wide output beam. Such expanders can serve for illuminating flat panel displays.

A compact multicolor beam illuminator and a compact multicolor beam expander are presented. The illuminator performs the dual task of demultiplexing a narrow red-green-blue (RGB) input beam into three separate beams, each of a different color, and expanding them to yield three separate magnified plane waves. The beam expander expands a narrow RGB input beam into a single magnified RGB plane wave. The design and recording procedures, along with experimental results for a beam illuminator and a beam expander with a magnification of approximately 3, are presented.
