Abstract
Splitting angle, generally limited by the feature size of diffractive optical element (DOE), is one of the significant metrics of the diffractive laser beam splitter. In this study, we realize large angle and high uniform split beams by using a divergent spherical wave front incidence. For designing this diffractive beam splitter, the Gerchberg-Saxton (GS) optimization algorithm which is known as a widely used method in DOE design is modified. Meanwhile, a negative feedback method is proposed to further improve the uniformity in experiment to compensate the incident wavefront distortion. Finally, a phase-only spatial light modulator (SLM) was used to test the feasibility and adaptiveness of our design strategy. In the experiment, we achieved several kinds of beam splitters and the uniformities are all better than 3.0% which the uniformity is measured by the peak-to-valley (PV) ratio.
期刊介绍：
Optics Communications invites original and timely contributions containing new results in various fields of optics and photonics. The journal considers theoretical and experimental research in areas ranging from the fundamental properties of light to technological applications. Topics covered include classical and quantum optics, optical physics and light-matter interactions, lasers, imaging, guided-wave optics and optical information processing. Manuscripts should offer clear evidence of novelty and significance. Papers concentrating on mathematical and computational issues, with limited connection to optics, are not suitable for publication in the Journal. Similarly, small technical advances, or papers concerned only with engineering applications or issues of materials science fall outside the journal scope.
