Diffractive Optical Element (DOE) & Microstructure Component

Diffractive optical elements (DOEs) and micro structured surfaces enable a hugh variety of optical functions, such as beam splitters, beam shapers and diffusers. Due to the diffractive approach, these elements are usually thinner and lighter than most refractive elements, while providing unique and powerful options for many applications in optics. In this Use Case, we demonstrate how such components can be defined in VirtualLab Fusion using the Microstructure- and Diffractive Optical Element (DOE) components.
