Abstract
The fabrication of kinoform micro-optical elements for applications in optical computing is described. The elements are recorded as continuous microrelief structures by programmable laser beam writing in photoresist with a computer-controlled precision xy stage and a modulated, focused laser beam. Kinoform structures can be programmed to any desired profile that is required for reproducing complex, optimized structures that are found by computer design techniques.
