Diffractive components: computer-generated elements

Highly efficient diffractive optical elements (DOEs) can also be realized using modern microfabrication technologies. Computer-generated data for arbitrary phase profiles can be transformed into optical elements. These elements offer optimum design freedom and established fabrication technology.
