Abstract

The authors have described the design and demonstrated the performance of two types of lensless array generator. The Self-focusing Fresnel-Dammann grating (SFD), and the Fresnel hologram. The SFD is based on a conventional Dammann grating, but obviates the need for extraneous Fourier transform lenses, by combining the grating with a Fresnel zone plate, in an exclusive-OR fashion. No alignment is required and no bulky or dispersive refractive elements are used. The Fresnel hologram can be designed for high fanout, but the design must take into account the phases of the light spots in the image array. The authors have demonstrated this for an 8times8 fanout element, where a set of random phases in the output gave rise to a satisfactory performance, whilst another set of phases gave an undesired, although interesting, result. The authors have also demonstrated a 30deg slanted axis, random phase design, generating a two dimensional array of 8times8 beams, used in reflection, and operating in a multiple reflection, planar-optic configuration
