An Improved algorithm for diffractive optical element with high imaging quality

An improved algorithm for diffractive optical element (DOE) with high imaging quality is proposed in this paper. The algorithm is designed based on amplitude division between signal and noise regions, further subdivides the noise region into two distinct parts. The image quality in the signal region will be effectively improved by employing a partition-constraint strategy, which imposes amplitude freedom on the first noise region while enforcing strict amplitude constraints on the second noise region. The principle of the algorithm, simulation analysis and experimental results are presented. The simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the algorithm is feasible.
