Diffractive Optical Elements (DOE)
Diffractive optical elements, DOEs, were designed for applications with lasers and high-power lasers. Used as multi-spot beam splitters, in beam shaping, and beam profile modification, such elements offer endless possibilities in different application fields. Diffractive optical element uses a thin micro structure pattern to alter the phase of the light propagated through it. When a laser beam is transmitted through a diffractive optical element (DOE), it can be transformed into an almost arbitrary light pattern in the observation plane.
