The approach also provides a different perspective on 3D diffractive optics design and further contributes to the inverse problem community by solving the nonlinear inverse problem to achieve a given task using azimuthally rotating phase layers.A number of applications of azimuthal multiplexing 3D diffractive optics can be envisaged that require switching of different outputs by rotation of one layer or the input field.

Here we design it to 8 phase levels, because it simplified the experimental implementation without compromising too much efficiency. Diffractive optics have increasingly caught the attention of the scientific community. 0000064887 00000 n The azimuthal selectivity is the angular interval where the reconstructed patterns are still recognizable.

As a result, arbitrary optical information can be encoded azimuthally in the 3D diffractive optics and retrieved by rotating part of its components relative to the others.
