Direct imaging systems that create an image of an object directly on the sensor in a single step are prone to many constraints, as a perfect image is required to be recorded within this step.

Linearly modulated multi-focal diffractive lens for multi-sheet excitation of flow-driven samples in a light-sheet fluorescence microscope [PDF]
Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) with single light-sheet illumination enables rapid 3Dimaging of living cells. In this paper we show the design, fabrication and characterization of a diffractive optical element producing several light sheets ...

Two-photon imaging with diffractive optical elements [PDF]
Two-photon imaging has become a useful tool for optical monitoring of neural circuits, but it requires high laser power and serial scanning of each pixel in a sample. This results in slow imaging rates, limiting the measurements of fast signals such as neuronal activity. To improve the speed and signal-to-noise ratio of two-photon imaging, we introduce

Comparison of far field characterisation of DOEs with a goniometric DUV-scatterometer and a CCD-based system [PDF]
We have measured far field diffraction patterns of different diffractive optical elements at an illumination wavelength of 193 nm using a new type of goniometric DUV (deep ultraviolet) scatterometer.

Nonlinear Diffractive Optical Elements
We propose diffractive optical elements with a spatially-varying nonlinear refractive index. Such a component acts as a diffractive optical element whose properties depend on the intensity of the incoming beam. We present a method for designing such elements, and as specific examples we study three types of nonlinear diffractive optical elements ...

High Concentration Photovoltaics (HCPV) with Diffractive Secondary Optical Elements
Multi-junction solar cells can be economically viable for terrestrial applications when operated under concentrated illuminations. The optimal design of concentrator optics in high concentration photovoltaics (HCPV) systems is crucial for achieving high ...

Selective modification of dual phase steel DP 1000 by laser action using diffractive optical element [PDF]
Experimental studies of shaping a CO2 laser beam with a reflective diffractive optical element have been performed. To increase the aperture of the initial beam, we used a collimator containing a system of two plane-convex spherical ZnSe lenses.
