Optimization of Diffractive Optical Elements by Genetic Algorithm

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

In this paper, a method based on the Genetic Algorithm(GA) for phase optimization is proposed. The programmable hybrid optical interconnection system implemented by the spatial light modula-tor is tested for a near-real-time optical processing. Designed diffractive grating has a 74.7[%] high diffraction efficiency and a <TEX>$1.73 {\times}10^{-1}$</TEX> uniformity quantitatively. The dependence of characteris-tics on several parameters in the grating design are analyzed. Also, as a result of the geometrical transformation to obtain quantitative data for <TEX>$3 {\times} 3$</TEX> spot beams, an objective optical experiment using CCD array detector produces the mean of beam intensity as a gray level of 202, the maximum value is 225, the minimum value is 186, and uniformity is quantitatively <TEX>$1.93 {\times} 10^{-1}$</TEX>, similar to the simulation result.
