Design of Diffractive Beam Splitters and Diffusers
The VirtualLab™ Diffractive Optics Toolbox allows you to design diffractive beam splitters to split a laser beam into beam arrays or beams with arbitrary angles of deflection. Not only can you individually determine the weight of every split beam, but you can also design additional diffractive diffusers to generate circular, rectangular or arbitrary 2-D output patterns. This Toolbox allows you to optimize your diffusers for coherent and partially coherent light sources in order to develop homogenizing or pattern-generating systems for LEDs and excimer lasers. Diffusers and beam splitters can be designed for paraxial and non-paraxial setups.
