Diffractive optical elements (DOEs) are flat or hybrid microstructured surfaces that shape light through diffraction rather than refraction. By sculpting surface relief or embedding subwavelength ...

Diffractive optics harness microscale surface relief patterns to sculpt optical wavefronts through diffraction, offering compact, lightweight alternatives to conventional refractive lenses. Recent ...

A team of researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has introduced a novel framework for monitoring structural vibrations using diffractive optical processors. This new ...

Spatially incoherent diffractive optical processors can handle data beyond non-negative values, potentially making them valuable in diverse scenarios, such as visual encryption and autonomous vehicle ...
